Oportunidad!

Day Four

Isaiah 55:6-9

6 Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. 


On Thursday I was privileged to get to visit a girls school in Edinburg, TX that is primarily for needy Mexican girls.


Regional Bible Institute (Click here to view their website!)

How can they go to school in the states?
This is a private, Christian boarding school.
The director of the school has made it possible for these girls to get visas and passports to come to school.
This is kind of like us going to study abroad in another country.
The primary goal is for them to graduate and be able to go back to Mexico and work to support their country and family.


I think the best way to show you this wonderful place is through pictures! So here are a few


The first room I saw when I walked it was the piano and guitar lab!
Being a music major, I fell in love!

5 Girls are taught private lessons on piano and then those 5 girls teach some of their peers.
The school is all about teaching the girls how to teach and leadership!

These are some of the girls' desks where they do their work.

Computer lab!
This is amazing because they will learn to use technology, most of which have never used before!

This is one of the bunks where the girls sleep. I thought it was so so cute!
Reminded me of camp, or the dorms at school.

These are two of the classrooms.
There are 3 classrooms, 1 for each school.
Elementary, Middle, and High.
The school also goes through college classes and the girls can leave with a teaching certification!

They also learn how to sew!

This is their kitchen where the girls eat all of their meals. 


Library!

I was so impressed with the school and can't wait to see it in action!

We have two girls headed to the school in the fall for sure, and hopefully a few more!
Please be in prayer for them as they get their paperwork and embark on an amazing opportunity!

Dios te Bendiga!
