Vida Jr. High School Purulhá

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Jr. High School Purulhá in Purulhá, a small town located approximately a 25-minute drive southeast of Tactic. The public schools are filled to capacity with only 1,200 of the 10,000 school aged children from the area. This means that 8,800 school spaces are needed. The mayor of Purulhá implored us to plant a school in his community, and he donated a large piece of land to Impact Ministries for the construction of a school. We opened the doors of the school in January 2007 and provide an elementary program for approximately 150 students from Preschool to Grade 7, and 50 students in our Jr.High School. Most of these students come from needy and broken homes. Our hope and goal are to raise them up to be leaders who serve God and influence the community around them.
