LA MAGDALENA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL – HERE WE GROW!

The construction work continues for the much-needed new classroom building at the school we sponsor in La Magdalena, El Salvador. We discovered that the Ninth Graders are currently having to meet in the Science Lab – squeezed in between the lab tables! They are certainly looking forward to the completion of the new classrooms.

We are excited to share with you the recently-received complete site plan for the entire school, showing what the school will look like when all construction and infrastructure is completed. Currently, some of the rooms shown for future uses (Library, Infirmary, Teacher Office – all required by the Government) are being utilized as classrooms until the construction of new classrooms is completed. The section in green is the recently-acquired property, with the set of four classrooms currently under construction shown on the right of that property. The set of classrooms shown on the left will be future construction, as funds are raised. Also, there is currently not a multi-purpose athletic field as shown on the site plan (also required by the government), but rather just a grassy field with fissures in the hard, volcanic earth during the current dry season.

Of course, the lives of the children being affected by their attendance at this school are far more important than mere bricks and mortar. That is what this school and ministry are truly about. But without the infrastructure, there would be no place for this Kingdom work to occur. No safe place for these children to receive the high-quality, Christ-centered education that they are receiving here.

Through the generous support of our donors and sponsors through the years – and the Grace of God – the school has come so far since opening in 2014! Currently we serve 213 students, grades K4 through 9th Grade, who will have a brighter future, thanks to this school. The children, teachers, and staff of the La Magdalena Christian School truly want to convey their deepest gratitude to all who have supported and continue to support this school through your financial support, and, more importantly, your constant prayers.

To help ensure that the needed construction can be completed, please go to our “Donation” page and make a donation for “Construction”. Or to ensure that the school meets its monthly salaries and expenses (currently $10,000 per month), please consider setting up a recurring monthly donation of any amount, or sponsoring one or more children.
