Lemuel reaches out to the community in many ways.  But, in all we do, we are looking for those trustworthy people.  People who put true faith in Jesus.  People wanting to be discipled and to grow.  People who then desire to take what has been invested in them and invest it in others. Modelene and…

  Phew, everybody!  I do apologize for the delay in getting a blog post up these days.  For one thing, the internet (need I say more?).  For another, there’s been a lot going on as we close another school/work year. So let me catch you up on what’s been going on as we wrap up:…

  To impact lives by investing in people as whole beings in order to help them break the vicious cycle of poverty and become mature and active members of society who are able and eager to reach out to others.   That is Lemuel’s purpose statement.  But what exactly do we MEAN by it?  What is “investing…

  Look at those faces!  This is one of the outtakes from picture day at the school.  These are the second graders….and what an effervescent, hilarious group they are (as you can see). The start-up tasks of the new work year (Sept-June), coupled with a fickle internet, have made it difficult to put up regular…
