“Our Biggest Graduating Class”

This day wasn’t just about how many graduated from 6th grade but it was about watching these young people grow up. Most of these kids entered our lives when they were 2 or 3 years old. Each of them participated in our Saturday youth group and have become family to us and I think to each other. The top photo is our BBM sponsored children. It was a time of tears as Stefani hugged me and had tears of joy, love, thankfulness and she said it best, “thank you for everything.” After the graduation ceremony there was a father-daughter dance. Anna in the 3rd photo looked and asked me to be her dad. I was so honored to be picked and danced with her. I looked to her mom and her face said it all. She had a load taken off with an expression of joy in seeing her daughter so happy. I sat with them while we ate and Anna wants to become a doctor. I know she will accomplish this. The last photo is the Director of the school and his name is Flores. He was filling in as well in dancing with one of his students. He has changed so much. Throughout the years he would never give much claim in the power of Jesus name. This night he gave a speech claiming that there are miracles and they are being performed every year by this ministry and the love of Jesus for this school, Barrio, and country. For us this was the cherry on the cake. He finally has come to admit that God is alive and He is doing some amazing things with these children. December 5th all these graduates will be enrolling into the 7th grade and a whole new chapter in their lives. This is a stepping stone into adult hood and into some major testing. We want to quote Stefani by saying THANK YOU to all our sponsors and all those who pray daily, give faithfully, and have stood by us these 10yrs.!!
