Current Conditions• Families live on less than $2/day
• Some villages do not have clean water
• 25,000 children in prostitution/4th largest exporter of women
• Many children not receiving education
Our Strategy• In the Village…
– Build relationships, evangelize, and disciple. – Plant “pregnant churches” – churches that look to
plant other churches– Children who accept Christ will have the
opportunity to receive a scholarship to the Christian school and will be partnered with a mentor.
In this way, we pray that God would call men and women who would saturate their own culture and ooze Christ in multiple disciplines and fields.
Christian Education• In the School…
• 180 days/year; 8 hours/day = students should be different
As students graduate, it won’t be that we hope that they will engage their world; it will be that they can’t help but engage, because they are a different kind of people.
