God sees beyond
In 2010, while I was participating in an administrative meeting of Bendición Ministries, I was appointed as the Principal of Berea Christian School.
At that time, I did not want to accept this appointment because I understood that was not the place God wanted to serve at. But, they convinced me to accept it with the condition that I would have an Academic Director under my supervision, who would be in charge of the academic aspects of the school. While I had my own plans, God had a very different plan for me.
A month after I started working at the school, the Academic Director left to live in the United States because she had obtained her permanent residency. Panic set in as I knew nothing about running a school academically. I remember when I was crying in my office early one morning when I got to work, God put this verse in my mind:
Isaiah 44. 18-19 “Forget the things of old; no longer dwell in the past. I am going to do something new! It’s already happening, don’t you see? I am opening a way in the wilderness, and rivers in desolate places.”
I couldn’t stop crying. It was there that I understood that God wanted me in that place. That day, I was able to write a project to be developed in five years, and during this time, God was transforming the school into a family. It is beautiful to see how our staff cares for each other and is attentive to each other’s needs. Also, to see that the students share on the playground no matter what grade they are in.
We have a very good relationship with our community, and we try to provide scholarships to a large percentage of our population. Although this represents a financial risk, God has always been faithful and provides through donors to supply our financial needs in a timely manner.
This year in particular, we want to increase the teachers’ salaries, and we are confident that God will move many people to cooperate for this purpose so that we can continue to bless many families.
We continue to pray to God for His intervention in supplying our needs as we dedicate our lives to fulfilling the calling He has placed upon us. We are always grateful to all the people who accompany and support us in prayer and through their donations.
