DR Pig Farming

The pig farm project supports the expansion of the kingdom of God

DR Pig Farming

$1,500 of $2,500 raised

The Haitian immigrants living in the DR arrive with nothing. They face legalized discrimination as well as societal bias. One of their best avenues for sustainable living is to be able to create their own small business. Pig farming is relatively easy and inexpensive. Our goal is to provide them a start on the path to sustainability through safe and healthy farming conditions and specialized training.

Emily Stader September/October Report

Emily Stader September/October Report

1 had to study this verse for one of my classes a couple weeks ago, and it impacted me so much that I now have it on a sticky note on my door. lt was a timely reminder of the importance of rest! Between extra classes, ministry opportunities, and a mission trip, the last few months have been a little hectic. In this case, the experiences were absolutely worth the extra work, but as my schedule has slowed down sorne in this second half of the semester, 1 have been reflecting on the fact that, while busy is not always bad, 1 also must be careful to balance seasons of business with seasons of rest. Otherwise, 1 can have the tendency to evaluate my worth based on my productivity and not on my identity as a daughter of the King.

Walk by Faith

Walk by Faith

It was a timely reminder today that as believers, we walk by faith and not by sight. I know in my life, it feels so much more secure to only go where I can see. But that is not what God has called us to is it? No, God has called us to a life of faith. Which is a life trusting in God to lead and guide us in every step. Even when we cannot see the outcome or the destination. The starting years of PCA were such a blind leap of faith at every step. And I will be honest, it was a hope that future years would be more stable and visible. But today, being reminding of 2 Corinthians 5:7, it is clear to me that any venture, any ministry that is not consistently done in and through faith is probably more about us than it is about God.

516NOW October 2023 Newsletter – SSK

5:16NOW has been tracking graduation rates in Palacaguina, where our first program started, since 2013. So we have ten years of data. Based on data through the end of the 2022 school year, we know that the graduation rate for students in our program is 53%. To an American, this seems low. However, we know that the pre-Covid graduation rate in Palacaguina was 35% so our students are doing significantly better than the population at large. In addition, 27 SSK graduates are receiving financial support for their college studies.
