Good evening everybody God bless each of you and it's time for the March newsletter.
This month our team arrived safely we have gotten a lot accomplished, we've added on to a room, we've enlarged it, new walls, new ceiling,ceiling fans, lights, painted all the rooms, repaired concrete floors, made Hopscotch, tic-tac-toe, marble boards, and checkers all on the sidewalk outside of the school. This team consisted of 3 great men and a wonderful nurse. We were do blessed.
This month we also decided that we have outgrown our building, we are asking for you to pray that the financial support will come in to buy a new piece of property and a building that might already be on the lot that we can do repairs or add on too already. God has shown us that it's time to move on and move up in this community.
We spent the last month partnering with another Ministry, they are Missions Beyond, out of Missouri, John and Velvet Sommers, they work with widows and children, Gabriel and I fall into that category now. they are a great addition to the ministry. I'm happy to have extra hands helping out.
I was honored to have been able to preach a couple times this week, I love it when God steps in and takes over. We are approaching "Samana Santo", which is Holy week in Spanish and what a great time to remember that our Jesus took his last breathe to save each one of us and rose from the dead to continue the work in us.
Our needs are strong, we are in need of financial support we need teams to come down and do work with the children, we have dropped a few children, because we have decided to ask the parents to help pay for school tuition, we are asking each family to pay 150 pesos per child, unless they have more than one child in the school, then they receive a discount, we are trying to make the school self-sufficient . There had been so many new changes in teachers, children, and the accounting systems, approvements will be made in April.
I would also like to thank, "The Mission", from Martinez Georgia,for the generous donation that they gave during our mission week, it was really appreciated and it was used wisely ,we are very grateful for your generosity.
GABRIEL'S adoption will go before the board either the 29th or 30th of this month, please be in prayer for final results, it's been a very long 12 years!!!!
Well, until next month, God Bless you all, thanks for your support and prayers, all of the 120 children say "THANK YOU VERY MUCH"
