Giving Tuesday Matching Gift
This giving Tuesday we've been blessed with a $10,000 match! We've already had about $500 donated towards our $10,000 goal and we are excited to see what God does.
Since we are opening a high school in April of 2022 and will have many, many needs at the new campus we decided to have this giving Tuesday match go towards some of those needs. A few of the first things we will do at the new campus is fence the entire 4 acres to make it more secure, run water to the school from our new well, install a septic system, and start building classrooms, labs, and bathrooms as money allows.
If we are able to meet this match it will be a very nice start for the school campus. We do not have a total high school estimate yet, but expect to in the next month or so. While we do not have to build all of the needed buildings for 9th-12th grade before school opens in April, we will have a lot of planning and building to do as the property is currently farm land. Plus we will need to fully "furnish" each classroom as we build it to allow for it to be used. Our plan currently is to open for the 2022 school year with 9th grade only, and add 1 grade a year after that. But if God provides, we will gladly open more grades quicker, as there are many needs in our village, so many students who cannot afford to attend high school.
As always thank you so very much for loving our village and continuing to stand in the gap for them. A free high school is going to allow 40 students per grade level to attend a Christian school, who otherwise would likely not have that ability, stopping their education at an 8th grade level. We will not only educate them academically, but also Biblically.
If you are able to help us meet this $10,000 match you can click here and it will take you to the matching gift fundraiser or you can click here and go to our general donation page for other giving options. Please remember that no amount is too small and that your donation is being doubled right now. If you believe this to be a worthy cause we'd love it if you would share this need with friends and family. If lots of people give a little we can meet this $10,000 match quickly.
