School Started at the Lighthouse!

Much is going on here at the Lighthouse Community Center at the moment!
  The Lighthouse is literally a full house daily,  full of children, teens and adults from the slum coming to participate in the various activities and programs offered here.

Also, just last week, a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) school called Foundations of Community Development (FCD School) started here at the Lighthouse.  The Lighthouse got a little bit "fuller"!

 There are now five FCD students living at the Lighthouse and participating in this awesome training course!  Meet the new additions to the Lighthouse family!

Quesede, Polyane, and Cida from Brazil, Klaske from Holland, and Zach from Canada.

Prayer Requests...

The students have already completed a week of classes and are enjoying their time and experience so far. Please pray for them during this special season of learning and growing in the calling has for their lives!

Also, please pray for the leaders and staff  running the FCD school, as they have just a small team of three running the school and have much to do.

Thanks for your prayers!
