2019 was a year of blessing and growth for Solid Rock Christian School! Each year we are surprised anew by just how much God provides. This year, yet again, we have been blown away by the growth made possible by our sponsors, supporters, staff, and, of course, our God.
We spent some time collecting a few pictures, old and new, to show you the amazing blessings that the children are now receiving.
The Kitchen
What before was a corrugated, hazardous shack of open cooking fires is now a state-of-the-art facility. The cooks are no longer at such a health risk working in a smoky room, and there’s now enough cooking power to feed the 400+ people that eat on campus twice a day!
The Teacher’s Housing
Three short years ago, in 2017, a patch of land near the school was purchased with the intent of building quality housing for Solid Rock teachers on it. This year, it was finished! Ten teachers, both single and with families, now have water, electricity, and a home walking distance from work. Since nearly no one owns a car, such a gift is a life-changer.
The Soccer Field
There’s nothing more galvanizing than a sports team, and Solid Rock was eager to have it’s own. Thanks to the work of one of our founder’s sons, enough funds were raised to buy, level, and seed a soccer field! The whole community now turns out for matches.
The Great Hall/ Church Building
At the beginning of 2019, there was one main space used for big gatherings of all sorts- the church on Sundays, the student chapel on Wednesdays, and community meetings throughout the week. It was a concrete slab covered by a tent that by January of 2019 had seen better days. Thanks mostly to local initiative and planning, they now have a massive hall to use on the daily!
The STUDENTS
We saved the best for last. All of the developments above would be nothing if built for their own sake. It’s all for the children– to bless them, feed them, teach them and love them. The first photo below shows the whole student body as of 2018. Now, with preschool, primary, and secondary school, there are too many students to capture in one photo!
Thank you to all of the sponsors and supporters who have made this year a year of abundance for these children! We are prayerfully anticipating what God has for these children in 2020. Thank you for joining us.
