Staying in Touch

Greetings to all of you with thanks for your support in reaching so many children with God’s love and the opportunity to help them grow in knowledge and faith in our Lord Jesus. .

Jim and I are leaving today for Panama, Paraguay and Uruguay. We know it is in the Lord’s will as our visas arrived this morning at 10 AM. Even though we had applied
over a month ago as per directions, as the time grew closer they wouldn’t guarantee they would arrive on time as the countries don’t always cooperate. So with passport and visas in hand and with board member Marilyn Stewart we should be in Panama Tomorrow.
We will visit the four sites in Panama, the three in Uruguay and the large school
Santa Cruz in Hohenhau, Paraguay as well as the four Little Bible Schools in Asuncion.
We are excited as the CCCS directors are making us feel so welcome and even though we only know personally a few of them we are so looking forward to meeting
these fellow Christians who are working with the children.
We ask your prayers our visit will strengthen and encourage them and that our visit will be a blessing.
The CCCS retreat April 3, 4 and 5 was a blessing with almost all of the board members attending. It was a meeting of spiritual growth and enthusiasm. David, Angela and Beth the CCCS team in the office had it well planned. The Project Committee and liaisons were able to bring everyone up to date on the projects. Dave gave us each a taste of his trip to Liberia and Sierra Leone. He was so encouraged by what he saw, not only the many children but the teachers and Pastors who were making it all possible..
This week we had a notice from Chad that the CCCS Chad team was going to visit the large schools in Kelo and Zoumandang, while attending the celebration of the translation of the Old Testament into the Zima language. Zima is one of the three languages most used in the southern part of Chad.
Again thanks to all of you who are a part of reaching so many children with the Gospel. The Lord is faithful. Edie Jorns, Project director CCCS
