Vida Elementary School Mocohán grade seven

Your class is learning a lot this year! Grade 7 students are continuing to learn to share with those in need, share their faith and nurture their personal relationship with the Lord Jesus through prayer, Bible reading, and active participation in their church. They are learning to discern, analyze, and reflect on life events and situations in the light of the Word of God, making decisions consistent with their faith. They are learning to write with clarity, order, and fluency and to demonstrate language mastery, confidently expressing themselves through oral expression, writing, narration, description and debate. They are working with large numbers on more complex equations. They are continuing to learn about the geography and history of the Americas, preventing natural disasters, and caring for the environment.

Vida Elementary School Mocohán

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Elementary School Mocohán. The community of Mocohán has over 1,000 school age children and yet only one small public school. This leaves 750 children without the opportunity to go to school. Impact Ministries was given a piece of property by the community council and invited to open a school project. The Mocohán Vida School opened January 2007 and we provide an elementary program for approximately 200 students from Preschool to Grade 7. This community is known for infighting and poverty. The majority of adults are unable to read or write. Even many of the pastors only teach by repeating what they have heard because they can't read the Bible for themselves. A large majority of the children don't have a father figure in their home. Out of the tragedy of this situation God is doing a beautiful work in this school. Students are learning to seek God. Bible memorization is a priority and lives are being changed. There is a feeling of love and peace among the students and teachers. They are very thankful for everything that God is providing them through the school.
