Permission Granted to Start School

As most of you know, we've been working through getting permission to start the school in Nueva Guinea. The current government has made establishing new private schools very different, but God's grace and timing seemed to be with the project.

The key person turned out to be the regional education delegate of El Rama. Even though there had been some controversy about the new school, she agreed to meet us in her home, and on Sunday, May 23rd, several of us, including Mark Miller from our church in Plano went to see her. The visit went well and the following Wednesday she came to the site to see the school, which was a bit unusual.

Today, Friday, June 4th, she called from Managua giving us the green light. We just have to do the formal paperwork with the Ministry of Education. Needless to say, everyone here is thrilled.

Thanks to all for your support and prayers.
