The work is further along than this picture shows. |
We need cement! The construction of the new classrooms has been held up for over a week because there is no cement. The builder says he expects to get cement today. They are ready to pour the second floor which will be the roof until we have fund to continue building.
One class will have to meet in the assembly room until we have a room for them. It will be at least a month before a room will be finished.
Saul and Jenny moved from the city of Santa Cruz to join the team at the Portachuelo Christian School. They are both graduates of the university in Sucre. Saul will be teaching high school math and science and Jenny will be helping with English. Pray they will find a house soon, for the time being they are living with us.

Not only are they an addition to the school, they are also an addition to the assembly. They come recommended from an assembly in Santa Cruz, before that they were active in an assembly in Sucre.

The school is starting its 11th year . Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. We are in the second week of enrollment. Each year we ask the Lord to bring in the students He wants to be in the school. Many parents wait until the day school starts to enroll their kids. Classes start on February 1. We are expecting 175 students this year from kindergarten through 11th grade.
Praying as you begin your new school year next week, a smooth adjustment for all of you including the new family from Santa Cruz as additional members to the household and for the building project. Tell Marion we're lifting up her desire for a brick patio area outside the kinder classroom as well. :D L & D
