Hope Remembered has been partnered with Freddy and Raquel’s project in Quebo since our first trip to Guinea Bissau in 2015. We currently have two Hope Remembered missionary families serving with them long-term. We have also been able to raise funds for various construction projects, agricultural land purchases, well drilling, and water tower construction.
Freddy and Raquel have lived and served in the village of Quebo in the south of Guinea Bissau for the past 19 years. This region is one of the poorest and least reached areas of the country.
Since arriving in Guinea Bissau they have started three Christian schools in an area where there was previously little access to education. They currently have over 500 students attending the schools. Many children that live far away from the schools come and live with them so that they can attend school while learning skills in agriculture, animal raising, and nursing. Many of their former students have gone on to study at university and have come back to serve with them in their project. Raquel also operates a small medical clinic in the village where there is little other access to good medical care.
They have planted three churches that meet in the schools and are led by Guinean pastors that they discipled and trained. Their goal in Guinea Bissau is to continue winning people to Christ through school and social work and to disciple, train, and send them to unreached villages and to neighboring countries to plant more churches.
Current Needs:
- $1000/month to pay teacher’s salaries
- $200/ month to pay medical school expenses for one of their kids who is studying in Bissau. He plans on returning to Quebo to work in the clinic when he graduates
- $4000 to install a solar system to power their house. They have been living in Guinea Bissau for almost 20 years and still don’t have reliable power in their home. This system would provide enough power for lights, fans, charging electronics, and refrigeration.
- $4000 to install solar power in the school. They have to cancel night classes sometimes because they don’t have enough battery storage to keep the lights on at night. This system would provide all of the power they need to have lights, fans, and use computers also.
