Pictured above, students in our Kairos School in Guatemala gather for a special program that kicked off their new school year last month!\u00a0 This school took the longest to re-open without any restrictions; faculty and staff are thrilled to be operating at full capacity once again.\u00a0 They are looking forward to Mission Discovery teams visiting them this Spring and spending time with the students.<\/p>\n

Our schools in Haiti continue to be filled with students!\u00a0 Although the country is still in turmoil as gangs take over more and more territory, the areas surrounding our HOLD schools have remained stable for the time being.\u00a0 Continue praying for all our brothers and sisters throughout Haiti and the ongoing struggles they face every single day.<\/p>\n

In Jamaica, students at both Victory Christian Fellowship and the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf are working hard and staying busy in their classes.\u00a0 They are excited to have Mission Discovery teams come visit them next month.\u00a0 We are so grateful volunteers are ready to serve in Jamaica again!<\/p>\n

At our HOLD Home Orphanage in Port de Paix,\u00a0 Haiti, progress continues to be made on our transitional home!\u00a0 The Orphanage Director, Pastor Francklin Antoine, has a team working to complete the roof of the building.\u00a0 This is the final phase of exterior construction- praise the Lord!\u00a0 Next, work will continue on the interior.<\/p>\n

While we are still unable to visit Haiti, we are grateful for the continued support from all of you- our school sponsors.\u00a0 Your giving continues to provide education for children who need it most.\u00a0 We are making some updates to our sponsorship program this year, along with updating our website, and we look forward to sharing more in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Thank you for all you give!\u00a0 Your donations and ongoing support make the ministry of HOLD, His Outreach for Learning and Development, possible.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n

Gratefully in His Hold,<\/p>\n
