Opportunity to impact a life...

This is a difficult post for me to do...I'm just not a good fund-raiser, folks.  But, the truth is that school starts here in a month...February 4th and so our time is growing short to raise the funds necessary for the Sponsor-a-Student Fund.  We will need to begin purchasing supplies here very soon.  

Love the look of joy on these faces over such a few items for the school

Jim and I have basically "adopted" the small rural elementary school of Cristóbal Colón in the nearby community of El Melonar which is just a few kilometers from our house.  It is a school where almost all of the estimated 40 children who will attend this 2013 school year are in need.  It is not unusual for children to drop out of school due to the inability to buy school supplies.

Checking out their new things

For $100, you can sponsor a child for a year.  That sum includes two uniforms (school uniforms are mandatory here in Nicaragua and having two allows the children to be able to wear one while the other one is washed and dried), a pair of shoes, socks, a backpack and all necessary school supplies for the entire year.

Receiving their new pencils and pens...and happy to get them!

 

For $100, you can impact a child's future.  If you can find it in your heart (and your budget) to help support this project with any amount, we would be deeply grateful as will the child you will help.  If $100 is just beyond what you are able to give, whatever you might be able to contribute will go to support these children in their education.  No amount is too small when you serve the God of loaves and fishes and every little bit helps! 

 

You can direct your funds one of two ways...either to:

Deep Water Ministry

26126 Farm Road 1000

Washburn, MO 65772            

or

First Baptist Church 

602 West Street

Cassville, MO 65625

PLEASE INDICATE WHERE THESE FUNDS ARE TO GO... we want to make sure that your donation goes where you intend! 

Thank you in advance for your consideration and your generosity...in your giving and in your prayers!  May the Lord bless you in this coming year as you give to others and trust Him to give to you in return!
