Back in 2005, as part of our community outreach, ACE began helping a few students get to school and have a meal every day at lunch time. Then, more and more volunteers got involved and committed to helping one student at a time with us, evolving into what our Child Sponsorship Program is now – a relationship between sponsor and child to meet basic school needs...

For those of you who have been with ACE since the beginning, you may remember the first draft of our Children’s Village or even the update last year. It seems a long time in coming, but do we have great news for you!

This month, ACE has finally begun building one of the first homes of the Village. While the layout has changed drastically, the vision has remained the same... 

We’ve had our iQuest program in some form for over 20 years, so I can safely say this is an old tradition. Each year, though, brings new life and new energy with every young person who participates.

Answered Prayers & Prayer Requests

ANSWERED PRAYER Our tractor has been down for two months and the bush is growing fast. Allen was able to remove the broken piece and have it repaired in the US. We plan to have the tractor up and running by mid-September.

PRAYER REQUEST So much turmoil is happening with school starting in September. Families are stressed and confused by conflicting information from the Ministry of Education. Pray that they find peace in the process, even though the entire educational system is temporarily broken.

ANSWERED PRAYER We have a family working with ACE who are Jamericans from Ochi Rio. They are helping on the farm and teaching our staff members who aren’t familiar with donkeys and horses how to handle and take care of them.

PRAYER REQUEST Pray for funds to come in to help with the day-to-day operations of the ministry. Without the number of volunteers ACE has enjoyed in the past, we are living on our sustainability businesses. While our micro-businesses, including the hotel, Cloud 9 Chocolate and Buccaneers, are not running at full capacity, we would not have survived without them. Any extra funds you find to send ACE are greatly appreciated to help support our staff and their families as we head towards the end of the year.

ANSWERED PRAYER Anthony, our now-grown former sponsored child, famous bee keeper, and an experienced pump-rewind repairer, will be joining us at ACE to help run Henry’s Hideout starting this fall. We are so glad to have Anthony back with us and know you all will love seeing him.
