L.I.F.E. - Love Is For Eternity
Vision + prayer =
new school in Grand Goave, Haiti 
Of course a lot of other items were included, besides vision and prayer, including faith, patience, persistence and sacrifice, to name a few. And all of these had to fit within God’s perfect plan and timing. All of this resulted with 2 completed 40-student classrooms filled with excited 7th graders eagerly pursuing their education! (see photos above and below)  We plan to add 1 class each year until all high school classes are included. This has been a great project and funding has gone very well. 
 
However, we’re not finished yet!
 
Over $70,000 of the needed $90,000 has already been received and construction continues. Only 1 more $3,000 “block course” donation is needed. Will you provide it? Additionally, $15,432 is needed to see this great project completed without a slowdown or stoppage. 
 
Can you or your church help?  
Connect with Bob@Lifeline.org to help provide for these students’ future!
 
Note that an additional commitment has already been made to fully fund a Digital Library within our school, even including student computer pads. God is good! Pray for safety and success as this project is completed. Also, please pray for our students, teachers and our Education Task Force.

Prayer requests
  • Pray for Lifeline’s Board of Directors as they lead Lifeline’s leadership transition, and for our Founders, Bob and Gretchen DeVoe, as they transition into new roles within the ministry.
