La escuela Jesus Vienne is a place of love and learning. It is a safe place for students to hear about the love of God and to experience it first hand through the teachers' encouraging words and the fellowship of the student body.

Public schools in San Raymundo are over-crowded and under staffed so, as a result, the quality of education is very poor.

Sponsorship of students allows the staff to be provided with a small salary and to help in the expenses of the supplies needed to keep classes running. Groups that sponsor children at the school are encouraged to make a trip, meet the students and create ties that encourage students to do well and show the visiting team the value of sponsorship.

The board at Jesus Vienne Church has a vision to build a new school that will equip children in the community with a strong, Christian-based education, especially for those students who are not currently attending school because of financial difficulties.

The building will be an extension of the church, with classrooms doubling as Sunday School space.

Serving through struggles

The students at San Raymundo continue to thrive even while those in leadership struggle to determine a path forward. Covid, changes to minimum wage laws, and government enforcement of these laws have made it progressively more difficult for the school both to reach those who are most in need of a good education and to keep the doors open.  

Even through these struggles, though, Pastor Victor’s family continues to creatively and sacrificially strive to keep the school running. Some members of the family teach at the school primarily as volunteers, while other members of the family find a variety of odd jobs to fill in the gaps.

Their compassion and empathy for students and community members is evident through their actions and their words. They do not want a single person to go hungry, be alone in sickness, or not have access to the good news of the gospel.
