Back to School Blessings

Paula and Erica, Pastor Victors wife walked thru the colonia yesterday and started a list of children that were of school age, but did not attend because of the lack of money. It costs approx $100.00 per child to attend school all year, a far cry from the $15,000.00 we spend in the USA to send kids to school. We think it is an important ministry to get these kids in school.Thank God for the 1st Presb. Church in Edmond Ok. that has expressed an willingness to sponsor some children this year. We invite all to sponsor a child. They have a list of ten so far and only made it half way thru the colonia. The back to school supplies that were collected in Il. will be arriving on Fri. or Sat, along with 600 gallons of paint donated. There is still a need for gas money for the transport of the gifts. Dan Castro is bringing the paint in Allen Wells trailer. Pray for thier safe travel.
