A little more detail about Acedemia Christiana de Caracas:
It is a very small school last year they had 60 students in preschool - 12th grade. Join us in praying for 100 students for this coming school year. Because the school is so small many of the grades are joined in combined classes for example 1st and 2nd grade are together, 3rd and 4th grades are together and so on. That is why I will be working with both the three and the four year olds. This makes extra work for the teacher because they are teaching two grades in one classroom. While the school may be Christian many of the students and their families are not. Teachers at ACIC have the opportunity to serve the international community beyond the classroom as they reach out to their student's families.
Here is there mission statement:
"We exist to provide education that empowers each student to independently operate in various cultures, serving the people of all religions, and excelling in various levels of learning. Our academic goals will challenge students to become critical thinkers who reason according to the truths established by a Biblical worldview, and to be able to clearly communicate their knowledge in both English and Spanish.
ACIC has the freedom to not only teach to the intellect of the student but to the whole student. The Post Modern world has made it taboo to talk about religions in school today. And yet, there is no greater deficit in our societies than the need to provide each individual with the tools to find out the greater truth in life, and thus build their purpose on eternal things. ACIC not only teaches the mind to desire truth and to look for it in all areas of study, but to realize that it is attainable and life changing. In fact, in just this past year five new parents have commented to me how their child has completely changed, even in his/her character at home"I am very excited to be a part of the life transformations that are happening at ACIC.
Thank you for joining me in ministering to the students and their families at ACIC, I wouldn't be able to do it with out your support.
I'll be adding some prayer requests soon. Thanks so much for all your prayers and support!
