Joint Venture Committee* writes:

Work project season is in full swing, and construction continues on the Tepeyac High School thanks to the many who volunteer their time and the many who give to this cause.  We are in the process of obtaining accurate cost estimates, but it appears that it will take another $200,000 (plus) to occupy the High School and outbuildings.

The construction of the High School building has been underway since 2001.  The goal of the school has been to build as money is raised, so when completed the school will be debt free.  Over the past few years the construction has continued to slow as it feels the effects of the slowing world wide economy. The donated funds have become less and less and have caused long delays in construction. These delays have caused the construction costs to rise. The bulk of the building is constructed out of concrete and steel, the cost of both continue to rise.

The tuition assistance need has increased 60% this year for the Tepeyac school.  We have 32 requests from 4 local reformed churches as well as school staff.  There has been a surge in students this year for which we praise God.
