Some needs...

We're ramping up to make part of the Education Center useable. (It's the tall building on the far right in this photo).

This building will provide classrooms for supplemental education, a dental facility, a medical room, a computer lab, a library, temporary space for our church plant, dorms for visiting teams, space for staff housing, etc.
It's about time to furnish it! If you or someone you know can help supply any of them items listed below, it would be a great help to us. Many of these items don't need to be new... just "gently used". Thanks for your consideration!

Currently we need...

for the dorms level-
several large pots, pans, mixing bowls, spaghetti strainer, etc
large coffee maker & bean grinder
metal utensils - forks, spoons, knives, serving spoons, mixing spoons, spatulas, wisks, carving knives, etc
24 twin size mattresses

wire dish drain (rack for drying)
60 durable plastic cups
towel racks & robe hooks

2 can openers

2 toasters
4 dark shower curtains (with rods and hooks)
5 curtain rods to fit 3' x 4' windows

5 sturdy shades or blinds for 3' x 4' windows
tea kettle
baking sheets
pot holders/ oven mits
2 toilet paper holders (sturdy)
sponges, scrubbers, etc
toilet brushes

rectangle folding tables

full length and smaller mirrors & hardware to install

for the classroom level -
5 toilet paper holders
4 paper hand towel dispensers
9 toilet seat cover dispensers and the paper covers

media cart

storage cabinets

rectangle folding tables

book shelves for the library

display case (wall-hung, for GCH info to be displayed)

for both floors -
brooms and dust pans
mopping buckets and mops
portable fans

several household and bathroom size garbage cans

indoor and outdoor security cameras

10 wall clocks

As always, we'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. If you want to make it simplier to donate, gift cards to Wal-Mart would also help supply the above listed items! And please designate any gifts for "supplies for the Education Center at Grace Children's Home".

Lizzy Sampson

Well, the rush of school starting has kept us all VERY busy. On top of it, our internet connection has been sketchy at best. Which leads me to a LATE announcement of GCH's newest intern, TIA LIZZY!

Lizzy is from our sending church, Santa Cruz Bible Church, in California. We have known her parents since before Lizzy was born. We've watched God use her parents in missions, worship, and extending God's kingdom. Now we have the opportunity to watch Lizzy follow in her parents' footsteps.

Lizzy will be living and working at GCH for 5 months total. Please remember her in your prayers as she serves the children here. Already she has become such a big blessing to us!
