Dear family and friends,
As of right now, the school has a kindergarten and first grade. Their desire is to add a grade
We wanted to share with you an update on the Ariels and what our mission work looks like
for the year 2018.
for the year 2018.
While we as a family are still not able to go back full time on the mission field, it is in our hearts
to do as much mission work as we can from the states, such as raising funds for the school in
Bocachica and putting together teams to do short-term mission trips, as well as visiting Colombia
as much as possible. .

Many of you know that Nate and three of our daughters had the opportunity this month to go back
to Bocachica with a team and start on the building project for the first Christian school on the island.

each year. This school is run by the local church. Once the building project is done, this school
will be self-sustaining. The school also has a missionary from the states who will teach the
children English. This is important so the children can learn English properly, This will enable
the students to be able to enter into university and seek higher quality jobs. The school and the
church are working together with the families, giving them the tools they need to help their
children succeed in school.
While we are not on the ground doing the work, we are very involved with the church on the island.
We are in constant communication with the locals. We are putting forth a lot of time and energy in
putting together teams and doing all the logistics from here.
So where does that leave us? We are in need of funds to keep the work going. We had funds that
were collecting over the past two years while we were here in the states, but we used a lot of those
funds for the building of the first three classrooms. We are currently in process of putting together
a team for this August. Your support allows us to serve the Lord and those who live on the island by
enabling us to plan and do these things. Please consider supporting us monthly or with a
one-time donation. It's an exciting time to help those on the island receive an education that will
set them on a better path for their futures. Wouldn't you like to be a part of that?
