Update on September 10
Many of our students are very poor and live in shacks. We know several that lost their homes. Thankfully our school is a hurricane shelter and had little damage other than the windows. We would like to help the families during this new school year by letting their kids attend without paying tuition. We can do this for $4000. A donor has agreed to match donations up to $2000. If we get more money than that we would like to give our students breakfast and/or a snack each day. We have over 200 students. If you would like to help with this effort please make your check out to Twin City Church of Christ and send it to Jerry Guidicy, 1309 Beulah Street, Festus, MO 63028. We appreciate anything you can give.
The school did receive some damage to the windows. They had hurricane force winds for more than two hours. Hopefully, the school didn't get much water damage because the people who were in the school probably took care of it as quickly as they could.
The church building had some tin blown off the top of the building, and some water damage. As reported, the porch is gone. A classroom was being added on the back and received some water and wind damage as well.
Lincoln, a member at the Belize City congregation, was going up today to see what has taken place so when Jerry hears from him we will post more information.
The area, up in Mexico that we visited and distributed dresses and shorts to the children, was in the eye of the storm. Their little stick houses and thatched roofs must be gone. More than likely, Jorge is up there trying to get everyone settled. There is a church in Blanca Flor that only had the concret walls but no roof. Lord willing, the roof was put on. That little church is probably the only building in their village that could be considered a hurricane shelter.
More news to come. Thank you and keep the prayers coming.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
