Vida Nueva Elementary School 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 Nueva Elementary School

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Nueva Elementary School. In 2013 the mayor of Purulhá asked us to consider establishing a school in the rural area of Purulhá occupied by two very small villages named Villa Nueva and Tierra Linda. There is great poverty in this area. The homes lack sewer systems and there is no public water. People carry water in buckets to their homes and many bathe and wash laundry in the small creek that runs through the village. The people in the community showed a strong sense of support by gathering funds and seeking us out. They want something better for their children! We built three classrooms as well as washrooms in order to begin a school. The government authorization came in January 2014 and we now have 130 students who are enrolled in Kindergarten through to Grade 7. As the children learn to worship, study God’s Word and put their faith in Him, these communities will be transformed for the Lord.
