Dear Friends and Supporters

Mexico Christian University
 

     Connie and I will be in Queretaro, Mexico from June 19 through 26. We will participate in the graduation service of Mexico Christian University on Saturday, June 24. This is the first graduation service since it’s reorganization as a University.

     Connie and I will visit with students and with churches in the area who are training their leaders though the extension program of the University. The University, under the leadership of Jaime Castro, has translated all of our TEE courses into Spanish. The University has 750 extension students in classes throughout Mexico and the USA using our extension courses. The extension courses as well as the BA and Master’s degree classes are accredited through Hope International – formally Pacific Christian College. 
 

NIGERIA Nursery School Project:


     The $19,500 designated for this project has been utilized and we are waiting for further donations to enable the completion of the project. It has been decided to expand the project to also include rooms for the Cross River Christian College on a second floor. These rooms will be constructed above the classrooms for the nursery school. A concrete floor is being poured as the ceiling of the nursery school classrooms to prepare for the second floor of the structure.
