Let me introduce you to Katie Ruth. She came to visit our school through Transparency Travel and she has a really big heart.We thank God for her and for His perfect timing. There are times when you have walked in a dry, lonely space...such as we have recently experienced with the sudden death of a lead teacher, our wise Janet..then God sends new hope and vision. Katie has been traveling to different countries the past year, using her gift and love of teaching to work with children in schools. She, with the help of supportive friends and relatives, helped the children make their very own books! She also has an idea for sponsorship of the children, that we hope to implement as soon as possible. Here is a blog that Katie wrote after spending time at our school . Katie's blog is here :)
Katie Ruth will be sharing with churches and other groups in the Chicago area. Just let us know if you would like for her to come and share with your group!
UPDATE ON SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION:
Tommy and Janis Burch made a very generous donation to bring construction to a point of safety and protection, thus preventing the potential for damage. We thank God for their huge role in seeing the school built!! The children are overjoyed!! The teachers are excited too!! Without their love and support, this project could not continue.
We are stepping out in faith and sending $9,000 to continue construction of the school. All glory to God for this! We are trusting that God will continue helping us complete this project AND continue providing for the entire school budget. Thanks to the support of many loving people and my church, Lakeview Baptist Church, First Baptist Church in Monroe and Hopewell Baptist Church, we were able to continue. God will bless all of you for your sacrificial love.
THERE IS ONLY A $50,000 need left :) It is a LOT still...I know...but GOD IS ABLE!!!
Please pray, pray, pray...however God leads.
Please pray, pray, pray...however God leads.
