Update from Joan Tyson January, 2012

In just a few days young people will be coming from villages all over the southern part of Honduras seeking an opportunity to study.  For us to board and take care of them 24 hours a day we have to have a minimum of two sponsors paying $30.00 per month each, or one sponsor paying $60.00.  This includes dormitories, three meals a day, their uniforms, shoes, and schooling.  Some students have been studying in the villages with one sponsor for a long time but now it is time to go to high school and there are no high schools in their villages.  Their hope is to come to Good Samaritan High School and live in the dormitories.

We desperately need your help.  Please go to our website at www.goodsamaritan.ms in the menu, you will see a link that says “Sponsor a Child” and look at the pictures.  If you could only come here and see what our program has done for these children and young people, you would see why my life is dedicated to trying to help them.    When our high school principal was recently in a very serious automobile accident, she was met and attended to at the hospital in the capitol by students that she had taught years ago, now doctors or interns about to become doctors.  They are everywhere – in banks, offices, teachers, military academies, doctors, nurses, pastors, pastors wives, and on and on.  Do you know the wonderful part?  The majority of these young people are born again Christians, having received the Lord in our schools.  We are adding new children to the site everyday.

I need your help.  It is so, so hard for me to say no and see someone leave, knowing they have no opportunity in this life. Together with our grammar school, in Honduras alone, last year over 1100 young people had the opportunity of hearing God’s Word every day of the week.  Many received the Lord as Savior.  Please do not think of this as a social program.  THIS IS OUR MISSION FIELD.  Our goal is that every young person leave our school with the Lord in his/her heart.

VISIT OUR WEBSITE TODAY AND ALLOW THE LORD TO SPEAK TO YOUR HEART.  CHOOSE ONE OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF THE LORD IN YOUR HEART KNOWING YOU ARE GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME TO A DESERVING YOUNG PERSON OR CHILD.

PROVERBS 19:17 “HE THAT HATH PITY UPON THE POOR LENDETH UNTO THE LORD; AND THAT WHICH HE HATH GIVEN WILL HE PAY HIM AGAIN”.    WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO MAKE A LOAN TO THE LORD TODAY?
