FOUR OUTSTANDING STUDENTS

Gerson is studying the violin while attending the university.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  2 Timothy 2:15

The sons and daughters of Pastor Gerardo in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico will each have a school graduation day in August.  And they will graduate with excellent grades and with honors.  They have each proved to be at the top of their class.

Gerson has finished his testing for entrance to Technological University of Tamalipas in Reynosa and has been accepted as a student.  He will begin classes on Engineering In Computing Systems September 1st.

Gerson plays the guitar, keyboard and the drums and is studying the violin.


 

Nahum likes to draw and especially likes to sketch animals.

Nahum is one of the top three in his class and will be honored at his graduation in August.  Nahum is attending Conalep preparatory school in Nuevo Progreso with plans to later become an architect.   He plays the guitar, drums and is learning the keyboard.

Dana had her quinceanera in March when she had her 15th birthday.

Dana, who is 15 years old, graduates from her class on August 8th.  In September she will go to school in Rio Bravo where she will begin the study of medicine.  She plans to become a doctor.  

Esly loves animals, especially cats and dogs.  

Esly, 12 years old, graduates August 13th also with excellent grades.  She has not determined exactly what she will do with her future, but is very interested in veterinary medicine.

Big plans are being made for these upcoming special days.  Each student will have a sponsor and will receive a class ring.  There will be fiestas to celebrate their extraordinary achievements.  

Mexico has programs to improve it's schools and in some instances gives financial assistance to top students as they further their careers.  Gerson, Nahum, Dana and Esly are in such a program because the costs of attending school are high in any country.  Cost of transportation to and from university classes in Reynosa, along with other expenses such as books and supplies would be impossible for most families.  We know that God is blessing these four talented young people; and we know that deep inside each of them is the desire to one day minister the gospel in some part of the world.

We are honored to be the unofficial "grandparents" of Gerson, Nahum, Dana and Esly.  And we are happy to share their achievements with you.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord."  Colossians 3:23
