TESTimony August 2016

What an action-packed “summer” we’ve had!  God brought alongside of us many brothers and sisters with various talents–seamstresses, firemen, engineers, environmentalists, "excavators”, 
​therapists, and corporals just to name a few.  The recurring theme of chapel messages was to forgive the past, keep our eyes on Jesus to step out of the boat and walk by faith, and celebrate trials as opportunities to grow so that today’s TEST becomes tomorrow’s TESTimony.  We celebrate that life with Jesus is a beautiful dance. We have been extraordinarily blessed again this year to have so many amazing servants invest in the lives of IER staff, students, and the campus facilities, as well as the local commmunities.  God is always faithful.  We’re grateful that just as a plant dies and scatters its dried seeds that bear much fruit, so it is with us believers as we die to ourselves and allow His Spirit to fill us with sweet seed-bearing fruit that He bountifully multiplies. Blessed to be a blessing…may it be!
This is the time of year when we share IER’s specific needs that you might like to meet.
1)  For our most recent classroom, new home ec’ lab, and to replace classroom fans that no longer work, we need 12 new fans.
2)  We need 2 new air conditioners to replace the original ones that no longer adequately cool the two computer labs.
3)  Last, but definitely not least, we have been searching for a school bus to replace the current one that has required extensive expensive repairs this year, resulting in school cancellation since all but one of our teachers and half of our students travel daily in this bus.
**To make a donation, please send a check designated for the specific item or for “2016 Needs” to the IER, PO Box 3575, Moultrie, GA 31776. We thank you in advance for relief from the heat and for reliable transportation!
