Turning Dreams into Reality

In the quiet village of Las Lomas, Guatemala, a story of resilience, faith, and transformation unfolds. Enma Rosa Jiménez López, a 29-year-old mother, has turned her dreams into reality, not just for herself but for her entire family. Her journey is one of perseverance, love, and an unshakable hope that has carried her through every challenge.

From a young age, Enma witnessed the strength of her grandmother, who tirelessly sold fruit door to door to provide for her family. That legacy of hard work and determination left a lasting imprint on Enma’s heart, inspiring her to one day build something of her own.

Building a Dream

With the unwavering support of her husband, she started a small business selling ice cream and homemade products. Every step of the journey came with challenges—balancing family life, managing resources, and navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

But even as a mother of two and expecting another child, Enma never let obstacles stand in her way. Together with her husband, she pushed forward, determined to create a better future for their family.

Strength Through Faith

Her faith in God became her anchor, giving her the strength to persevere.

And when she received our 410 Bridge Business Start-up Training, everything changed. The knowledge and skills she gained helped her grow her business significantly, leading to a noticeable increase in her income. But more than financial success, the greatest impact was the confidence and certainty that with effort and faith, anything is possible.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Today, Enma is not only a thriving entrepreneur but also an inspiration to her daughters, teaching them the value of hard work, faith, and perseverance. Her story is proof that dreams are not just about achieving success—they are built with love, dedication, and trust in God.

Enma’s journey reminds us that no dream is too big when you have faith, determination, and a community that believes in you. And for her family, she is living proof that hope, when unshakable, can truly turn dreams into reality.

Please keep Enma and her family in your prayers!

When Faith Becomes Action: The Story of Los Jazmines

Two years ago, in a small community in Guatemala, a group of women and two gentlemen took a bold step of faith. They didn’t have a business plan or financial background. What they had was a shared desire—for something different, something better. They wanted to grow. They wanted to believe. And most of all, they wanted to act on their faith.

That’s how Los Jazmines was born.

At first, it was a simple savings group, supported by 410 Bridge. A place where members could learn to manage money and build a safety net. But it didn’t stay simple for long. It quickly transformed into something much deeper—a place of prayer, discipleship, encouragement, and miracles.
