Life is about education. From the time
we are born we are learning and how we are taught designates how we
will eventually live on our own.
Poverty and despair has been taught here in Payatas for years and
they have done a good job at it as thousands repeat the destinies of
their fore fathers.
God called us here to change all that. The first order of business
was to educate everyone we could about our Saviour and His desire to
save them.
After they received Christ (also before) we started training them
in Academics. They would bring us their lessons and we taught them a
week ahead of time so by the time the teacher started teaching, they
already knew the lessons. That worked and we have their report cards to
prove it. With sometimes as many as 80 kids to a class, our specialty
tutoring gives them the edge that they need.
we have kids from Kindergarden up to college.
In the main body of this letter we will focus on the education of these children.
MUSIC
Satan is the music thief. He was constructed as the Bible says
with tabrets and the ability to make beautiful music but his downfall
killed that.
I walk into Church before the service and hear our people singing
and praising God with their voices and musical instruments. I actually
have to stop them so we can begin. There is nothing like it and they
learned it all at PBC.
Music changes the way we feel and when we direct music to the Lord it draws us even closer to Him.
Statistics show those who are involved with music have a 50% better chance to graduate college.
It teaches discipline and obedience.
