Literacy Wish List

if teaching is not your thing...you still can help us!

Prayer Support- for more helpers, teachers and students,for those who need jobs, for those who study to become citizens, learn to drive, etc.

Pray for more volunteers to help by acting as greeter or secretary for the classes ,...to keep the nursery for children of the students. Volunteers to provide refreshments or monthly birthday cakes to any of the centers. Funding from those who donate money for Bibles and the Life of Jesus VCR to be purchased in the languages of the students.

Gifts for Students- you can provide or make angels, pocket crosses, or any craft item to present to students at holidays or end of the year times. Donate left over plastic canvas or yarns that volunteers use for those making gifts. Contact Becky Witt at hcba@baptistassociation.com
