I've heard so many people say recently:
"I'd really love to help, but I don't know how...""I've felt called lately to DO something but I don't know what to do..."
These five young women wish to join our three "Reynosa Girls" we have now in Texas at the Regional Bible Institute, an exemplary boarding school for Mexican girls.
Here, they can receive a Christian education learning how to grow as women of Christ.
There are rules, schedules, discipline, but most importantly family, love, and support.
The girls have met with current students and with myself (who teaches there three days a week) and are fully aware of the commitment and hard work it will take to pursue this. They are ready!
We will also meet with them all again once the paperwork process starts.
This is a HUGE opportunity for them to learn, grow, have a degree from a good school, and most importantly to have a bright future living their lives for the Lord.
Most of the girls have big dreams! They want to be able to work and give back to Mexico, some want to get a good job to help get their families out of poverty, one girl wants to learn as many languages as possible and travel the world as a missionary, one of our very own wants to be a veterinarian, all want to be amazing wives and mothers to their future husbands and children.
The school gives the girls a chance whereas
they may not have one in their current situation.
Now there are many ways we can do this, but it will get done.
We want to get started ASAP with paperwork for the 2015-2016 school year!
These girls have a dream and the only thing standing in their way is funding.
So the elephant in the room, what does it cost?
For all of them: $12,500
Each: $2500

"22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."
James 1:22-25
