This past weekend, Pan de Vida celebrated another successful school year with graduations and promotions. On Friday, the classes ranging from preschool and going through Junior High had their ceremony. The theme was "Our Education in the Hands of Jesus Christ."
Each class did some sort of a presentation focused on the how Jesus transforms lives. The preschoolers were "God's Creation" and did a dance dressed as chickens, cows, lions, the sun and the moon.
Kindergarten and Primary classes followed with some dance routines to Christian songs. I can't describe the feeling you get when you see them beam with smiles as they perform with complete joy. Then the Junior and Senior high students and the youth group blew us all away with powerful dramas of Jesus having victory over sin.
This year 3 students graduated from preschool, 8 from primary to Jr High and 15 are now promoted to High School. This is such an achievement for them having come from uneducated backgrounds and abusive situations. A true testimony that God does have a plan and purpose in their lives.
On Saturday Pan de Vida hosted another graduation to celebrate the achievements of those receiving their High school diploma and others becoming licensed to teach through the ILMES Bachelor of Pedagogy/ Christian Education. This year, Karen, Violeta and Lupita graduated high School while Cecelia, Monica, Rocio and Erika received certificates of Pedagogy.
Guest Speaker Master Rafael Rodriguez de León gave the Biblical Message focusing on three phases from being young and care free, then studying and working hard to reach graduation and now obtaining the degree to go out and serve God through whatever course He directs. He also gave them sound advice on the obstacles they will face in the journey and the difficulties within the government. He encouraged them to continue doing what they seek with guidance from the true counselor, Jesus Christ.
We continue to pray for the lives of all the children and hope the joy through events like these will encourage each one to claim the victory Jesus has for each of their lives and for them to strive to live that life for Him in whatever they choose to do.
