Job was born in Covant, a poor village high in the mountains. His mother died in childbirth, and later the pastor came down to our house and asked us to take Job. He explained what had happened to his mother… and that she had died in childbirth.

Job is an excellent student and is in 11th grade. He wakes up early in the morning, waters the plants, sweeps the floor, and then eats and gets ready for school. Job’s desire is to become an Ophthalmologist. He loves playing his bass guitar and also loves playing basketball and soccer.

He recently had a bad infection in the bone of his leg and had to be taken to the Dominican Republic. They opened his leg and cleaned out the infection. After a year now, he has to return to the Dominican Republic to have an operation to have the “glue” removed and another type of filling put in. We pray that the border opens soon so children like Job can get good medical care.
