This week has been an exciting time - the walls are up, touch-ups were made, and we even have a new office area! On Wednesday, we began by asking God to give us wisdom and insight and to lead us to the right students for this school year. We were amazed at the commitment of the parents, who brought their children in interviews and testing. Each of the students we met expressed a desire to attend and asked again and again when we would make the selections. After the students left, we met as a staff and decided who would be invited. What a joy it was to call and let the parents and students know they had been selected. As of now, it seems we have 7 students, but about that many are still pending.
In the afternoon, a friend from Services of Hope came by and the team discussed the possibility of having his evening program in our building on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Besides providing him with space, this will help us connect with the kids we have been recruiting for our school. It will also allow us access to a highly effective reading program - Read 180, a program we could never afford on our own!
God is so faithful to fulfill Romans 9:8
"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."
