Thank you for your continued prayer for Destino del Reino as we prepare for the beginning of a new school year. There is much preparation, support and prayer needed as we work on completing a building project prior to the beginning of school. Our goal is to be able to pour the foundation for the junior high school building and lay blocks by August! You may recall that back in April 2012, my college friend Jeff Armstrong, President of Baptist Life Association and Kingdom Quest Financial, provided a matching ministry grant of $1,000 towards the new construction. The response we received from our supporters was incredible, and we were able to raise more than $2,500 towards the building. Praise God! As you know, we have had several needs arise that had to be taken care of immediately, such as fixing our water well. While these have caused a temporary setback that delayed us in pouring the cement foundation, we know that God is our Great Provider. Just as Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, we give all glory to God “who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” (Ephesians 3:20-21) Jeff Armstrong has learned of our need for additional funds in order to pour cement, and he has offered an additional $1,000 matching grant! Baptist Life Association will match your donations between now and July 20, 2012. Please pray about making a donation for this matching grant opportunity so we can pour the floor for our junior high school! If you would be willing to make an additional donation apart from your regular giving to Destino del Reino, you can send your donation to: Baptist Life Association Attn: Member Benefits Coordinator 8555 Main Street Buffalo, New York 14221 Please make the check payable to Baptist Life Association and designate “Destino del Reino matching grant” on the memo line. Baptist Life will send you a tax-deductible receipt for your contributions, match the total donations up to $1,000, and send the funds to Destino del Reino immediately so we can pour the foundation! If you prefer to donate online through our website, you can do so by visiting www.destinodelreino.org/supportdestino/donate and including “Baptist Life matching grant” in the designation line. Your donations are always appreciated, and through this opportunity they will have double the impact!
Destino del Reino
Destino del Reino is a home where children are nurtured and loved and prepared for adulthood. They are not only provided with food, clothing and shelter, but also with education and job training, enabling them to provide for their own families in the future. Through training in the Word of God, they discover the personal hope they have in Jesus Christ and are prepared to return to their villages as leaders with a destiny of hope.
Destino del Reino, located 15 miles north of Siguatepeque, Honduras, provides the children with basic needs, bilingual education and spiritual knowledge, in an atmosphere of Christ-like love and compassion. The facility when completed will consist of six family-style houses, a guest house for parental visitation, a church, dental clinic, elementary and junior and high schools and vocational training centers.
The theme verse for Destino points to our prayer for these kids:
“Fear not little flock, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom”. -Luke 12:32
