Here is the lovely skyscape I wrote about yesterday. This is the main room of the tutoring center. The center is mostly one large room, with a small office, a bathroom, and--out the door down some stairs and through a narrow yard shared with neighbors--another room that was once a converted garage.
This small space will hold 36 students plus up to 15 adult volunteers at any given time. Pray for wisdom for Lauren as she figures out how to best organize the space and rotation of groups. As the days gets warmer and active children get restless, pray for a spirit of peace and a space that is large enough to contain all of the learning and excitement that will be happening each day. Also pray for positive relationships with surrounding neighbors.
Please also pray today and throughout the week for the ongoing preparations and logistics that Lauren is finalizing. She is working hard to create grade-specific math and reading curriculum with daily lesson plans based on hands-on activities. She is also coordinating a crowd of volunteers to provide lunches for the children. Each individual, family, or bible study group that signs up volunteers to make nutritious and tasty sack lunches for all 36 children one day, or once a week. Praise God that most days are now covered! Keep asking him for someone to make lunch for field-trip Fridays.
Thank you for your partnership in prayer! We believe that as we lift up these prayers for preparations and place together, real power is released and real change will happen.
