You need JavaScript enabled to view it Proceeds from the auction will be for the Marantha Christian School in Nicaragua.  Project Description and More Pictures Marantha School is operated by Marantha Church of the Assembly of Christian Churches (a Moravian denomination not to be confused with the Assemblies of God Churches) in Bilwi City, Port Cabezas, Nicaragua – an area with a predominately illiterate adult population. The school provides a basic secondary education from an integrated Christian perspective to 200 students with an evening program that ultimately affects another 300 students in part time studies. The school was operating with six partially built classrooms when it was struck by Hurricane Felix in September of 2007. This project will restore the six damaged classrooms and add two additional classrooms which were part of the original construction plan. The building is also being used as a Bible Institute to promote theological education (including courses from MINTS – Miami International Seminary) to pastors and Christian leaders in the area. Below are several pictures of workmen as well as a one of the classrooms that needs to be repaired.     |
