Project 7937 — Quiñenahuin, Chile. The Mapuche High School has been destroyed by fire. National leaders want to rebuild, but they are overwhelmed as they try to make arrangements for the rest of the year. This includes housing and feeding the students, as well as making sure the 12th graders will be able to graduate on time.

Latin America ChildCare (LACC) has approved the Quiñenahuin Mapuche High School as the Matching Funds project for 2007. This means that in March or April of 2007, LACC will do a promotional blitz to match an initial amount of about $50,000. We hope to raise a total of $100,000. These funds will probably be available in June or July of 2007. That means that we will still need another $100,000 to $200,000 to rebuild all of the school and the dormitories, kitchen and dining hall. We are going to need help from every possible source to make this happen!

We must immediately raise $10,000 to $20,000 to build a new set of bathrooms (boys & girls) and a kitchen/dining area prior to the start of the 2007 school year. This needs to be done by March 1st of 2007.

Project 9910 — Bible School in a town called Izalco. Izalco is a very historic town for the country and the national church. The cost of the whole project is around $40,000, but it can be built by stages of $10,000 each. Although somewhat close in time because of inconvenience to students. I believe there are six classrooms that need to be built on a small piece of property. Three would be done on the first level and three on the second.

Project 7101 — Build three or four large classrooms for the Assemblies of God University in San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador. The university is the first A/G university in Latin America and is being blessed of the Lord in enrollment growth. We presently have around 900 students.

Some classrooms must be replaced and new classrooms added to manage the expected growth.

Project 1689 — Central Bible School/ Computer Lab/ Ministry Offices. The Central Bible School in Panama City serves 175 Bible school students. A new computer lab needs to be built to respond to an expanding teaching program.

The church has secured a good sized piece of property on which to build their new sanctuary to seat 1,500 people. Their present facility is completely full (approximately 500) and they are also using the facility for a Christian school with 189 students, many from unsaved families in the community. Once the new sanctuary is completed, the old building will become the school full time. We will have a project number in the near future, but don't have it now. We are asking each team to contribute $8,000 or more for construction materials. The church is doing all they can to come up with as much funds as possible. Besides buying the property, they have about $20,000 to begin some of the lot preparation.

We want to introduce the "Africa Tabernacle" concept in Honduras. I am attempting to raise enough now to build the first 7 churches as that is how many will fit in a container to be shipped from the US. However, the entire project of 100 tabernacles, to be built over the next 4 years, will require some $800,000. We are asking participating teams or churches to buy a church for $10,000 and send a team of not more than 12 men/women to build the project. The team would come for 6 or 7 days.
