When All Else Fails . . . STAND !! 👊


Well, we have some GREAT NEWS & some more GREAT NEWS... which do you want to hear first?  ðŸ¤— 

FIRST:  
We've been given the School License!! 
5 years ago we felt the Lord ask us to help Him start a Christian School here in Medellin.  As we have mentioned in previous letters... even though Medellin is the 2nd largest city in Colombia... in the whole  nation, it is the last on the list regarding Christian Education.  Now we know why...
If there wasn't so much opposition, there would be more Christian schools here.

3 years ago we formally applied for accreditation;  2,000 page application document, 14 times being rejected, (I can't tell you how many tears ðŸ˜¢ my wife shed).  BUT thanks to so many of you praying, we didn't quit . . . and they finally approved us.   To God be the Glory!!!!

SECOND > > 
We are Growing out of our Location!!  
The Lord said he was going to "change the course of the history of Medellín (4 million people) through Christian Education".  That tells me we will be affecting many, many families!
 

In order to do that . . . we'll need a BIGGER campus! 
How?  I don't know...but God does. ;)
The location where the school is now is very expensive and will soon be too small.
In these over 30 years in missions, God's Dreams for us here are usually bigger than we can imagine... and more costly than we can afford.   WHY?
Because they are HIS dreams.  
So hook your faith with ours!  Let's get ready for all that God is doing!!    
                     
                     It's time to celebrate!!  ðŸŽ‰

DO YOU TAKE YOUR COMMITMENTS SERIOUSLY?

DO YOU TAKE YOUR COMMITMENTS SERIOUSLY? commitment     /kəˈmɪtm(É™)nt/ 1.  the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc. "the company's  commitment to  quality" We make commitments every day...  They can be simple or life-changing — from simply promising to complete a task to making a lifelong commitment such as becoming a parent or asking for someone’s hand in marriage. But do we take our commitments seriously?Some folks make commitments at the drop of a hat, thinking they can walk away from the obligation if they change their mind. Don’t they understand that commitments come with responsibility? Don’t they care that they may be hurting someone they care about? Don’t they understand that their actions have consequences? If the answer is yes, why don’t people honor their commitments? Recently I was studying Nehemiah.... Because he had such a strong  commitment , the people finished the wall in 52 days, despite many adversi...

Tired Of Fighting Alone?

How are YOU doing... today ?   As a result of the pandemic situation, many people have found themselves fighting some type of battle - and many of them were fighting all ALONE.   IN OUR CASE ...   the Lord had us start the project for the Christian School about 4 years ago.  There are a lot of people affected by the project and many families counting on it for their children.  Last week, we got to a point where it looked like it would be impossible to see the fulfillment of that project.  It looked like it could be finished.  We want to share some ideas on how we were able to walk through the despair of feeling like we were about to lose everything.  1.  PEACE -  Recently I (Jerry) caught myself in "just hang on and survive" gear... but God got in my face and reminded us that He LEADS me by His peace .  Satan wants to DRIVE us compulsively , but God wants to DRAW us compassionately .  I know it sounds too s...
