This is the channel where Elida Figueroa posts much of her work with the CCSSMM sponsored Proyecto Juda. Enjoy!

This communique was recently received from our CCSSMM project founder and director:

"Dear CCSSMM Team,

I just watched this latest video of Proyecto Juda which I think is their year end concert. This is the best Christmas gift I could have received and I hope you will agree! God is SO GOOD. This amazing journey we have all been on together has been so fruitful and I am overjoyed with how music has changed the lives of these children. Proyecto Juda has been in full operation for two full years now. THANK YOU to all of you for your part in this!

Elida just completed teacher training for books 3 & 4 in El Salvador, and will be completing book 2 in Guatemala later this month. This is a huge accomplishment given time, financial, and transportation constraints, but she is making it work. She is struggling to finance on her own, but CRM is helping too. She is making great contacts within SAA, earned a scholarship, and is currently the only Suzuki trained teacher in Honduras.

This program has not been without it's "bumps" and is still on precarious ground in many ways, but we know it can be done and must survive! St. Matthew has committed to a huge portion of financial support for which we can be very grateful, but more is needed! Your continued help is much appreciated. I still dream of finding a permanent benefactor! That person is out there somewhere, so just share this good news with everyone you can and help us find "our person"!

I miss you all!
With Gratitude and Joy!
Laurie

Well it has been a very long time coming, but... finally a new post. The long delay in posting is certainly not due to a lack of activity and progress at the CCSSMM Proyecto Juda. Just take a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1lNB4pQ8M4&sns=em and see the glory of the Lord being shed abroad in hearts and lives, through music and other ministry, at Children's Rescue Mission in Teupasenti Honduras! I am quite sure the families and children in Honduras would appreciate a Christmas gift and greeting just as we do. So... consider this program https://www.gofundme.com/musiconamission in your Christmas celebrations, Sharing of the Joy, and year-end giving.

After one year (circa July 2014 through June 2015) of musical instruction under Elida Figueroa look what these young folks can do

Well the accompanying post was lost in the upload of photos just posted. Bummer! Maybe it helped to build up the anticipation. A hearty thanks is given to www.sharmusic.com www.facebook.com/sharmusic because they so generously donated seven cases, bows, and sets of strings for seven more violins that are on their way to Honduras for CRM CCSSMM and Proyecto Juda. The seven violins were donated by a source or sources unknown to me. Our local luthier extraordinaire, John Jordan www.jordanmusic.com, donated time and talent to bring the instruments up to playing condition. These seven additional kits will be delivered to Elida Figueroa and seven more students in July.

There have been several updates on our CCSSMM GoFundMe website over the past week or two. I want to direct you to updates 51-53 that honor some of the women involved in CRM and the Proyecto Juda music ministry. From the seed planted a little less than two years ago, look what a healthy sapling has sprouted. Take a minute to review the updates and consider if you might support the program. https://www.gofundme.com/musiconamission?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=cta_button&utm_campaign=upd_n
