Education

I usually post about many of the projects and things involving the kids.  Today I wanted to share with you some information on the educating growth happening here.  Many of the kids came to Pan de Vida under 12 years of age.  As they have grown, Dario strives to grow them with a Christian education.  Now that several of the kids have graduated High School, he is now incorporating college level opportunities.  I want to Thank Elena for sharing this information with me, so you can all have a glimpse into this ministry.

Pan de Vida recently hosted a conference for Christian higher education in Mexico.  Many Christian educators, directors of Christian institutions, Christian philosophy and pedagogy students were in attendance.


During the week, 4 certification seminars were held on Christian philosophy for students from Juan Calvino Seminary in Mexico City.  These students are  working toward finishing their masters degree in theology.  The seminars also served as an introduction to the masters in the philosophy of teaching program that ILMES is initiating this semester in Pan de Vida.  (Note: ILMES is the college of Pan de Vida- the Mexican Free Institute of Superior Studies)  Several of the children that have grown up in Pan de Vida are taking this course.  It is wonderful to see God working in their lives. 

Pan de Vida also hosted the bi-yearly AMECES meeting (for the Mexican Association of Christian Higher Education).  Directors of the Christian high school and college institutions around Mexico arrived to discuss plans for the promotion of Christian education in the state.  Many plans are being made during the 
meeting to open up the doors for more Christian schools and universities here!  Praise the Lord for the work He is doing in education in Mexico!

Finally, a conference was held by the director of Faro, a Christian publishing house in Mexico.  Many of the Christian institutions, especially Pan de Vida, want to publish more Christian literature in Spanish.  Elena, a volunteer at Pan de Vida  has been asked to translate Christian literature from English to Spanish. Please keep her in prayer as she undertakes this task.

In addition to the news of the conference...the children received new uniform sweaters.  These are pull over fleece with pockets and will definitely be handy on the cool mornings and in classroom.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7  Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
