La Carlota is a small town outside of Córdoba, Spain. We are set to help with remodeling of CSTAD. Presently we are awaiting permits, but are moving things out to storage bins while we wait in confidence that God will bring the permits, money and workers through.
We have had the pleasure of meeting these fine students and staff here. The students are so hungry for God and most come here on a shoestring budget and trust God to provide the finances. The school has been running in the red or a decade and survives only by the grace of God. There are only 3 paid staff and the rest volunteer. All the teachers volunteer there time. Hardly any of the students have the finances to pay for their education. Spanish government provides some with scholorships. It has been great to hear some of the students testimonies and the extreme difficulies they overcame through miracles of God to get to this place.
We had the awome opportunity to share our testimony at Chapel hour. I wondered if it would be beneficial for any of the students, but for several days afterward we were approached by students who told us how it applied to their lives. So glad our story could be a benefit to some.
The students here care so much for everyone and we feel like family here already. I wish I could help each student with their financial needs. $4000 euros a year gets you room and board and meals. The cook here is fantastic. So much better than camino meals!
We are blessed to be a part of this. I wish we could do more.
