Pastor Neri Flores, his wife Betty, and 3 children Ivett, Johanna, and Josue worked as Pastors and Missionaries with a deep vision to bring a transformation to their beloved nation. For over 30 years Pastor Neri started churches, traveled throughout Central America sharing a message of love and hope, and worked in the mission field helping the poor, abused, and forgotten. Pastor Neri while pastoring a church in Escuintla, started a small feeding/ education center for local children. In 1994 a young boy by the name of Jonathan Roiz came to Guatemala to assist Pastor Neri in the feeding center, and to conduct mission activities throughout Escuintla. Jonathan returned to the United States, and from that moment was never the same again for he understood that God was calling him to return to Guatemala to one day open a Haven of Hope Center and to help Pastor Neri make his vision into a reality.

Years passed and Jonathan wrote Pastor Neri many times, but none of his letters arrived. During that time, support decreased and Pastor Neri was forced to close the feeding center, breaking his heart. Finally in 2003, Jonathan's final letter arrived and reconnected this once young boy who now is a young man with his long time friend Pastor Neri. They immediately began to share their feelings, and visions, opening their eyes to see that God has destined this moment for them to reunite as friends, family, and partners to become the hands of God to fulfill the deep calling to ignite a movement of hope throughout Guatemala, transforming cities into havens of hope.
