2011 Begins with Hope
As the New Year begins, there’s room for much optimism at Grace International School and for the Saving Grace Project.
First, we’re blessed to have superintendent Don Williams back in good health once again. The physical difficulties he experienced in November have dissipated, thank the Lord, and he is much improved.
Second, Grace International School hosted a wonderful special event — Christmas in the Park — a ministry outreach to the Thai community attended by more than 1000 people. It was a special evening during which attendees heard the Gospel in music, testimony and drama.
Third, we’re greatly encouraged as the children and families of Grace in Chiang Mai completed a fall “piggy bank campaign” to help generate funds for the Saving Grace Project! More than $3,000 was contributed by school kids during this brief effort to raise awareness within the school.
Finally, we’re hopeful that, with the purchase of the property for the future campus of Grace International School, it will serve as a motivation for people across the world to see that God does, indeed, work in miraculous ways! There is much yet to be done to raise the funds needed in the short term:
- Still needed are the funds to build temporary classrooms should the courts decide to evict the school from its current facility.
- Resources are needed to improve the property and prepare it for construction.
- Funds are needed to pay for the architectural services and property development plan.
- In short, we’re trusting God for more than $1 million still needed before the end of this school year!
If you can, please consider giving a special gift to help the Saving Grace Project. No matter the amount, you will be taking part in a far-reaching effort that will affect the lives and ministries of hundreds of missionary families serving in SE Asia — and those of the people they are serving!
And please continue to pray for Don Williams, the faculty and staff, and the parents and students of Grace. Thank you!
