The GCEC is a Christ-centered transformational development ministry founded in 2010 to meet the education and spiritual needs of the children of Granada, Nicaragua. It is a community that has been underserved by all measures. Joblessness, broken families, physical, sexual, and substance abuse are woven into the fabric of daily life. For the approximately 8,000 people that live in Pantanal, transfo
rmation will require education. However, the ability to get an education is severely limited; there are no secondary schools serving this area and the elementary schools are overtaxed. Closing the education gap is our calling. We will tangibly share the love of God with the children and their families by providing a quality education that holds a Christian worldview. Our desire is not only to offer academics, but to provide students with an education rooted in Christ, exposing them to what God has created us to be. This is the greatest avenue to break the cycle of poverty and abuse.
