HOB Summer Update...

Classes for our 2023-2024 school year will begin in less than 6 weeks.  That’s hard to imagine since it was just last month that classes wrapped up.  What an incredible first year we had with our brand new school, Christian Education Center of Bachiniva (CECB).  It definitely exceeded our initial expectations.  Actually, i’m not really sure what we expected exactly since it was our first year and we had never done anything like this before.  No doubt it was full of highs and lows, challenges, difficulties and lots of learning.  But overall, it was a blessed year and God was very gracious to us.

What a blessing it was to see the lives of our 54 students (kinder-jr high) impacted and changed.  The stories we heard from parents, family members and the local community were incredibly encouraging and a further confirmation that this is the direction God wanted us to move in.

We had open enrollment this past May for the upcoming school year and were absolutely amazed to see over 85 students enrolled, and the number keeps growing.

This was a huge step of faith for us, logistically as well as financially.  But we saw God provide, as He ALWAYS does, in tremendous and incredible ways.  We were able to keep the tuition for our students at just $50 a month because of all your generous financial support.  On behalf of our school board, staff, teachers, students and families, THANK YOU.  Thank you to those who have come down and will come down this year on a mission trip to help serve, build and bless.  Thank you for those who have fervently prayed for us.  Thank you to those who have supported financially.  Thank you to those who have sent emails, texts and kind words.

Please continue to pray for us as the need is even greater.  With 85+ students enrolled and starting a high school, we are in need of more teachers, vans for transportation, our building project to be finished and lots of supplies.

We are focusing on 3 areas right now that are our biggest need.

1. SPONSORSHIP - We are looking for individuals, families or churches that might want to sponsor a students monthly tuition. Please let me know if you are interested in more information and I can get you all the details or you can check them out on our website www.thehouseofblessing.org/sponsorship.

2. BUILDING PROJECT - Because of the number of students and our enrollment growing, we are in need of more classrooms.  We have started a new building project for our jr. high students and are hoping it will be finished by September. Please let me know if you are interested in donating to this project.

1. GOLF TOURNAMENT - We are VERY EXCITED to our House of Blessing Golf Tournaments coming up this fall. Once again we will be having a tournament in WA and FL to raise funds for the school. Last year we were able to donate over $21,000 to the school. We are hoping for more this year as the need is evern greater. Please check out our golf website for ways to get involved, www.hobgolf.org.
