God Sized Need

June 24, 2010

The school building project has begun in Grippis Farm! Thanks to donations from We’re All God’s Children, a Christian non-profit organization in Pennsylvania, 20 Grippis families were provided with large hammers, which they are using to crush stones they have gathered from the ground in their own community. They will crush the stones into gravel to utilize for making the concrete blocks needed to construct their school building. It is hard, physical work, but they are willing to do it in order to see the school have a strong, new facility where their children will be assured of getting an education for many years to come. Praise God for the donations, big and small,which are making this beginning stage possible.

The next stage will be to purchase two concrete block making machines for forming the blocks, and the funds have already been raised by We’re All God’s Children for this phase as well. In addition, a mission team will leave the States on August 1 this year to go help the villagers build their school.

We are excited to see what God will do as he moves in people’s hearts to help the village build their new sturdy school. The school they are currently using is made of mud bricks – the walls are crumbling in many places – one wall has a three foot hole in it. One of the school rooms is missing the bars that protect it because the walls around the window are cracking and the bars simply came loose. A new concrete block building will be a permanent structure for the mission that the teachers are carrying out every day.

Will you help make this new building project possible by purchasing blocks for the construction? One block costs only $10, so for $1,000 you could buy 100 blocks, which would be a huge help. Whatever God moves you to give will be a blessing to the community. Perhaps you own or work in a business that would be willing to give toward the building of the school? We need to raise $135,000 to put this school up – and we are wide eyed in anticipation for how God will make it happen! This is a God-sized need, which only he can meet through moving the hearts of his people.

Richest Blessings,
