The Story

Imagine if you were a child who was forced from your home. Forced to flee to a safe place and leave all that you know behind. You become a refugee in your own country. You are poor, hungry, and have no hope of an education. This is the case for so many kids. But a few of those children have a special hope. A few of those children will get to go to school, have a nice meal, and have opportunities that they would have never had before. How? Because of one man and his wife. One couple who have decided to be hope for these children. Their names are Jimmy and Farly. Pastor Jimmy and Farly are from the country of Columbia. They are a very Godly people who serve Jesus and give much. A wealthy donor asked Pastor Jimmy to start a school for these internal refugee children and promised to fund it. As time went on, the man was unable to continue funding it, so he told Pastor Jimmy to close the school. Many would have, but not Pastor Jimmy. Him and his wife get up very early and go to the school. They feed the children, give them clothing, and give them an education. Without them, these kids probably wouldn't have much if any of an education. Pastor Jimmy and Farly give their own time and money to help these kids! These kids wouldn't have near the opportunity without them. The school needs new uniforms, a computer, etc. as well as sponsors for the kids. But wait! Don't let that scare you away yet lol. I know that everything you give to Pastor Jimmy for the school will go to the school and be greatly appreciated. You do not have to sponsor a child, although that would be nice, but you can still help! Here are a few ways. Send a gift of any amount. for example,  $5 a month. It is only $5 and you probably won't miss it. It could help the school a lot though! If enough people gave $5 a month, it would go a long way! If you can, you could also sponsor a child. It is only $35 a month! Not much money at all. You could also give a one time gift of any amount. Or, you could advocate for him! Singers, foot ball players, and people like that are considered heroes many times, but for what? I consider Pastor Jimmy and Farly heroes! They give so much expecting nothing in return. It would have been so easy to close the school down but they didn't. How many people will consider giving any amount each month, or sponsoring a child, or giving a one time donation of any amount? Many places are "Christian" but do not practice holiness, or you may not trust them, but I assure you, Pastor Jimmy is a Godly Christian who could do so much more with the school. If you would like to help, please let me know! Please keep Pastor Jimmy and his family and the school in your prayers!
