Gymnastics at The LifeLink School!

In March, after the beginning of the school year, the excitement continued to grow at "Centro Escolar LifeLink" with the beginning of the gymnastics program. This was made a possibility thanks to Carrie Russell, an accomplished gymnast, who spent priceless time training the school's new gymnastics teacher. Having received the donation of brand new mats, The LifeLink School is now prepared to offer the classes as an extracurricular program for the students. We are convinced that gymnastics will help focus our students in the way of discipline and perseverance.

The future of these children looks brighter than ever! A God-centered outlook and a positive attitude will define the path that they take in life. There is no doubt that each one of the students at The LifeLink School has the opportunity to become an influential leader in character and integrity for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Changing Lives!

“Perdón que los interrumpa, pero encontré esta basura tirada en el suelo”, said Rogelio, a first grader at the LifeLink School. (“Excuse me for bothering you, but I found this trash on the ground.”)

As some of us were gathered in the kitchen of the school, Rogelio, entered and politely interrupted us to let us know with these words that someone had thrown some trash on the ground. It was such a special moment! I felt joy, satisfaction, and pride when we heard and saw Rogelio do what he did. It is so beautiful to see and experience the tremendous impact that LifeLink International is having in the children of this area in Ciudad Sandino. The opportunity to be part of this is, without a doubt, a blessing and a reason to feel proud.

We are privileged to continue serving in the area of Christian Education. We teach our students about Jesus and the love He has for each and every one of them. As you may already know, every Friday morning we have a children’s chapel service at “Centro Escolar LifeLink”. We worship, pray, and experience the love God with the students.

One very special treat earlier this was the visit of Pastor Colleen Rouse, from Victory World Church in Atlanta. She shared a word from God about healing directed to the 3, 4,5, and 6 year-old students. They paid close attention to our guest speaker as she delivered a passionate message. The response was anointed. After they were lead in prayer by Pastor Colleen, many of them were ready to share about the amazing healing power of God. Their hearts were full of faith because they had believed a message from God’s Word!
