Today is a most important day in the life of GRACE Ministries for two reasons.  First, it is the first day of school in Guatemala for the 2014 school year which begins now and ends in October.  For the first time, GRACE Ministries will sponsor children to go to school.  We (you) have paid their registration costs, purchased their supplies and uniforms, and will supply them with a sack lunch after school.  The sack lunch is in place of getting to go to the feeding center.

Second, we are supposed to hear from the electric company as to the “when” we can expect to receive electricity.  Our request to receive electricity was approved last Thursday, 1/16.  The normal time for the installation to be completed is around three months.  We have asked for a much, much earlier (like now) installation.  The decision is being made in Guatemala City.  Please join us in praying for God’s will to be done in this situation.

The Moline CRC team is having a great week of ministry.  Today will see them complete construction on the 15 houses.  They will also finish a playground at Love The Child (Osborn) and dedicate it in memory of Donna Westhouse’s nephew.  Pray for their final two days of ministry and their travel home on Thursday.

Thank your for caring about GRACE Ministries.  Pray for us!
