Yes, I am still on the road, now in Delaware visiting area churches.   As of tonight I have done 102 presentations about the school.  Some have been full hour presentations, some as sermons, others as mission moments and others for small group or individual projects.   My goals for this trip are to:

1. Raise at least the $50,000 for the Matching grant although I would like to raise $600,000 so we can finish the multipurpose building and add a wing of classrooms unto the school.

2. Find sponsors for all the students…we are still lacking about between180-200.  Student packets are just going out and we are waiting to hear from many sponsors.

3. Find funds, approximately $50,000 to $70,000, to purchase land for a new school.

Paraguay Mission Trip Opportunity

New Horizon School in Paraguay began a new school year in February with over 700 children enrolled. They have begun to use the new Multipurpose building for classes as well as gym and music, but considerable work is needed to complete the facility.  Mark Waltz is planning to take a mission team to Paraguay leaving from Erie on September 15, returning September 25, 2012.  The trip is estimated to cost about $2,000. Money for the plane fare, estimated at $1500, will need to be supplied by July 1, 2012 so that plane reservations can be made.  Anyone interested in going will need a valid passport. The plan is to work on the multipurpose building at the school and help with the construction of the new Methodist mission church across the street from the school.  Anyone willing to work is welcome although persons with construction skills, especially masonry, are especially needed.  Contact Mark Waltz if you are interested.  E-mail is  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
