We greet you this lovely Monday with a very exciting update...

Last week, two generous donors stepped forward offering to match every donation up to $35,000 to help us purchase the chicken farm next door to our school.

Through the generosity, prayers, encouragement, and sacrifice of so many people, most of that $35k was raised in just 7 days. 🤯

THEN, over the weekend…

A third incredibly generous donor offered to match up to an additional $10,000!

That means we now have a total of $45,000 in matching funds available. 🎊 💪

SO FAR, $34,500 OF THE $45,000 HAS BEEN RAISED AND WILL BE MATCHED!

To God be the Glory! His provision is a testimony of His faithfulness.

And your willingness to join us in being the hands and feet of Christ is such a privilege and joy to be a part of.

THANK YOU to all who are praying, sharing and giving.

When this final match is complete, we will officially have the funds needed to purchase the chicken farm next door to our school. Any additional funds raised beyond that will immediately go towards building our FIRST classrooms on the property.

After years of praying, planning, fundraising, and believing… we could have this land in our possession as early as NEXT MONTH.

This property represents so much more than land. It represents...

Future classrooms.
More girls rescued from cycles of poverty and abuse.
More meals served.
More opportunities.
More space to dream.
More lives changed.

God has been so faithful every step of the way, and we are standing in awe watching Him write this story.

The final countdown is on. 💪

The deadline for this $45,000 matching campaign is Saturday, May 23.

If you feel led to give, every dollar matters and will be DOUBLED through May 23.
