Excitement is high as we start the 28th year of school. God has blessed the school tremendously. It is simply amazing to think of all the children that have been blessed with a good education through our school.
We had prayer meetings all last week to ask God for His blessing on the coming school year. The theme of the prayer meetings was 2 Timothy 2:12, "If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us." Some of the teachers taught on the promise of God to answer our prayers. I taught on "The hand of God in suffering". As Christians, we will endure suffering, but we should allow God to use it to prune and purify us, and help us hope for and long for heaven.
It is a real struggle for parents to be able to buy uniforms, books, and pay the tuition for their children. (At the mission school, students pay part of the book costs, and a small tuition. Sponsored students receive books and tuition totally free. We only have sponsors for some of the students, so we pick out the poorest of the poor.)

Eager faces, ready to learn. Would you consider partnering with us to sponsor a child?

Roll call. A lot of the students skip the first few days of school. Some have not got their uniforms made yet.

Thank you to everyone of you that his partnering with us this year through the school sponsorship program. For only $15/month, you can provide an education for a child in Haiti. This pays for their tuition, books, and a hot meal. For more info email ifm-hdr@juno.com .
