On December 6th Pastor Pedro Pablo and I had a meeting with Compassion International. Pablo came with also. A representative for Compassion came to visit Santos Pamba and evaluate our site. Our building was approved, however we do not have the personnel to run the program. Compassion requires 10 personnel who have graduated from high school, and the Director needs to be graduated from college. They need to be from the community and be members of the church. Of the Santos Pamba church, there are only a few people who have graduated from high school. Many have not even completed elementary school because they have had to work instead. We were very discouraged when we received this news, however we are trusting that this is in the Lord's hands and in His timing Compassion will begin. In the meantime, all we can do is pray. I ask you to join with us and pray for these specific needs:
- 1 Director (gradute from college, passion for children)
-3 Tutors (graduated from high school)
-1 Health Director (graduated from high school and has basic first aid knowledge)
-1 Accountant (graduated from high school and studying accounting)
-1 Christian Education teacher (graduated from high school)
Thank you for joining us in prayer. Your prayers are powerful!
