So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isa 41:10 For all the prayers, thank you. It is not about me; sometimes I forget.

Great is our God and highly to be praised. Through the years we have experienced God in a magnificent way. Truly He has never failed us. In desperate times He always intercedes to bring about good as we are learning to trust Him. We submitted a grant proposal with the hope to upgrade our computer center, but we were put on hold. The computers we use were Pentium 3 with 128 megs of RAM and 20 Gigabyte hard drives; insufficient to properly run the programs for the after school program and to access the internet. It has been a slow tedious process. We were told funding went to other priorities; our needs would probably would be considered at a later date. We praise God for John Smith of Neighbors Empowering Youth, Inc. of Pasadena, who allowed us to acquire 10 computers on assignment, which we desperately needed. His participation gives us the opportunity to move forward with quality refurbished equipment, that our students can equipment on a level of current technology.
