Family Values Classes- Partnering with Families

Over the next three weeks, Engadi Ministries will be providing Biblically-based Family Values Classes to parents within the school systems of Paraíso. The classes are designed to provide Biblical parenting strategies to bring families closer together and promote healthy relationships within families. David Medina, Engadi’s Director of Discipleship, will be providing the classes Monday through Friday at several intervals throughout the day. David’s passion for families and gift of teaching has created a special bond between him and the students and families of the local elementary schools.

Families are able to elect classes with topics that interest them, and attend classes at times throughout the week that are convenient to their schedules. Many of these parents have students who are enrolled in Engadi’s annual scholarship program. Parents of these children must attend at least four of the classes as a part of the students’ requirements to earn school supplies.

We are asking for prayers for David as he leads these classes and discussions over the next several weeks. Pray also that parents are receptive to the ideas and messages that he brings them.

Recognition in Schools

Engadi Ministries was recognized at today’s graduation ceremony for the recent work done in the local schools of Paraíso. The director of the school specifically thanked Engadi for their work in cleaning and painting the school over the past year, the scholarships offered to students that allowed students to earn necessary school supplies for free, as well as other work done within the school system.

Engadi would like to extend a thank you to all of our donors whether it be those of you who donated school supplies, those who came and spent time cleaning and painting the schools, or who have supported us financially in the past year. We could not do what we do without you.
We look forward to continue to serve and share Christ’s love with these students and teachers in the upcoming school year beginning in January.

6th Grade Graduation

Today, Engadi Ministries had the privilege of giving a graduation speech to the graduating class of sixth graders in Paraíso. Sadly, statistics show that many of them will not continue their education past this level due to a variety of reasons. Engadi’s Director of Discipleship, David Medina, encouraged children and parents to press on in their schooling and pursue their dreams. Several of these students were also part of Engadi Ministries’ scholarship program to earn school supplies for the past school year.
