We arrived at Shepherds College last week. We have been looking forward to serving here for over a year. Kent and Debbie are serving with us. We became friends a couple of months ago in while serving together at Riverbend Retreat Center in Texas. We invited them to join us at Shepherds College. We are so glad they did.
Why are SOWERs serving at a College you might ask??
Shepherds College is Faith based, the students have chapel every Monday and bible classes are included in their curriculum. They have a choice of five churches to attend on Sundays. It is a three year program, with three occupational programs to choose from: Culinary arts, Horticulture, and Technology.
Shepherds College is the nations leading post-secondary school created with the learning needs of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in mind.
Check out this video from Small Town Big Deal, when they came to Shepherds College.
It is a worthy SOWERs Ministry project and we thank the Lord that we can be helping out here.
The girls have been doing a lot of cleaning, the guys dug a drainage trench, and we finished a room inside their maintenance building. The pictures will tell the story better then I can.
