Restoring hope among the nations!
L.I.F.E. - Love Is For Eternity
The Class of 2015!
In 1995, in a small wooden building, Lifeline’s Christian School began in Colony Ocotillo, San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with sixty children in the first grade.  Within approximately a year, the government of Honduras gave Lifeline the current land that is the site of the Ocotillo ministry, which is customary when a new community is established.  Their mandate was for this land to be used for the general public’s advancement and their desire was for a school, clinic, and other services.  Today on this property, Lifeline’s Christian School serves about 450 children, grades kindergarten/preschool through twelfth grade; a medical and dental clinic; and a church.  In our school, the teachers and students pray and Bible classes are held daily for all grades.
 
On December 4, 2015, Lifeline’s Christian school in Honduras will host their first graduating class of 17 students from the twelfth grade!  (pictured above)
 
We are thanking the Lord for His faithfulness and provision to provide the school to serve the children in this community.  And we are thankful to you, for supporting the children and ministry through your prayers and giving!  Today, these young people know and love God and have dreams for the future!
.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
We invite you to join in this celebration!
First, pray for these young people as they seek the Lord’s guidance for the next phase of their lives.  

Secondly, we are looking for donations of $75 per student to honor these graduating seniors with a celebration day and a Bible.  Simply contact Lovelink@Lifeline.org if you could assist.
 
Finally, Lifeline is offering a Scholarship Program for these 17 students and is seeking donors to sponsor a student.  These young people have come so far and overcame many problems associated with their society and poverty, so we want to help them go beyond high school.  For more information contact  Lovelink@Lifeline.org.

Thank you for praying and supporting 
Lifeline’s Christian School Class of 2015!
 

Praises
Haiti
  • The men’s work team worked side-by-side with the Haitians to install a quarter mile long pipeline to get fresh water to the Laregal Christian School! This will be such a blessing to the school and community. Thanks for all of the hard work! (see photos below)
     
  • Work at the new Grand Goave Middle/High School continues to progress!  Take a look at the recent photos below.

Honduras
  • Recently, the young ladies of the Omoa Children’s Home were involved in Children’s Day (a national holiday in Honduras) activities with four of our Christian churches; read more in our new “Corazon a Corazon” newsletter! Thanks to our wonderful Children’s Home Directors, Carlos and Patty Cojon, these girls are being discipled and trained to reach out to the children just like Jesus did. Their hearts are growing with the love of God because of the example set before them.  We are very proud of our young ladies!
     
  • The children are being blessed and growing in the Lord!  Check out the latest news from Honduras, including details about sponsors viewing their gift photos!

Prayer requests
  • Eastpointe Chrisitan Church (Blacklick, OH) is hosting a Child Sponsorship Drive October 11 & 18.  We are praying many children will find new sponsors who will love, support, and pray for them!
     
  • The 8th annual Harvest of Talents in Grinnell, Iowa is coming up October 17 to raise money to help finish construction of Lifeline’s new Grand Goave Middle/High School (Haiti).  Please pray for a wonderful event and for an amazing turnout! Over the past 7 years, Harvest of Talents in Grinnell has raised over $100,000 for Lifeline!  Praise God!  You can visit them online or follow them on Facebook
     
    Interested in starting a Harvest of Talents at your church?  Contact Audra@Lifeline.org for details.  It’s an amazing way for any congregation to utilize the gifts and talents the Lord has blessed their people with and witness the church coming together!  

     

  • Please be in prayer for the work team traveling to and serving in Haiti October 10-18.  The team is made up of groups from Greenwood Christian Church (Greenwood, Indiana), Red Sands Christian Church and School (Arizona/Navajo ministry) and a medical team led by Dr. Michael Keralis.
     
  • Pray for the heavy travel schedules for the Lifeline staff this month.

     

  • Pray for the upcoming women’s work team to Honduras the first week of November.
     
  • Please keep Karen Kennison (our Executive Assistant) and her family in your prayers.  Karen’s mom, Ruth Gabel, has gone home to be with Jesus after battling Alzheimer’s the past few years. 
It’s time!
Sponsors, it’s time to send in gifts to your sponsored child for the October gift deadline! Here are a few helpful reminders:
  • Need some gift ideas?  We have numerous gift suggestions available.
     
  • Don’t forget that you can purchase items through Lifeline, such as Bibles, soccer balls, food bags, and more.
     
  • When you are mailing your package, remember to condense & reduce packaging and include your $7 processing fee.  Be sure to check out all the details on packaging & mailing your gift and watch the video below!

And remember: gifts don’t have to be extravagant…
 
These are tokens of love to let your sponsored child know that you are thinking of them. It’s the relationship that you are establishing with your child that makes all of the difference.  They know they are thought of, prayed for, encouraged and loved when they receive a note, a picture, a gift.

Birthday wishes
These young men (below) are students at Lifeline’s Christian Schools in Honduras & Haiti, and are all celebrating birthdays in October!  Please join us in wishing them a Happy Birthday!  There would be no greater gift for these boys on their birthdays than to receive the news that they have a new sponsor! 

What is a sponsor?  Someone who will love, pray for, and encourage them, while supporting their education through our schools.  

You may already sponsor a child or unable to sponsor one right now, but you can advocate for these children by inviting a friend, family member, or co-worker to consider opening their heart to sponsor one of these young men. 

Learn more about about becoming a sponsor at www.Lifeline.org/Sponsor or click on the student below to provide the best birthday gift ever…a relationship!
