Unity

Although school closing for a month has been a difficult thing for all of us, we've all seen beauty come from it.  One of the beautiful things is unity.

When the announcement was made, instead of our teachers being upset over the decision, they supported Lala and April and offered money from their paychecks to help pay the debt.  When our students' parents heard the announcement, instead of being angry at us for closing school, they were angry at the injustice of it all.  They stood behind our decision.  Some of the parents that work for Mama Kathy and 2nd Story Goods offered to give from their pay to help the school.  When Grace's clinic staff heard of the news, they talked together about it and they, too, decided to give of their pay to help the school pay off the debt.

It is a beautiful thing when a community can take on a burden together.  Being able to watch members of the community have an opportunity to take ownership of the school and show their support for it and the children is an incredible thing.  Because of the generosity of the teachers, parents, and other members of the community, we will be able to reopen the school on October 9th or possibly even earlier!

Something that Satan intended to use to cause division is being used by God to bring unity in Jubilee.

Romans 8:28

All things work together for the good of those who love him.
