Saving Grace! Please help preserve missionary education for 600 kids in Thailand!

Saving Grace is a project to ensure that more than 600 missionary kids in Chiang Mai Thailand are able to continue their education at Grace International School. After eleven years serving thousands of missionary families, their children, and the kids of local Thai families, Grace International School (GIS) is in danger of eviction from its middle/high school building due to actions being taken by a few members of a local neighborhood association. These people have sued to remove the school from the property that has housed it for more than a decade, turning the property over to the neighborhood association to operate as a high-end health club. This site is the official site for The Saving Grace Project, with a goal of $2.5 million (USD) to help relocate the school to temporary facilities, purchase land for a new campus, and prepare architectural plans to make that new campus a reality.

Please visit http://savinggrace.gracefndn.org for background on why Saving Grace represents an urgent need for individuals, churches, organizations, foundations and companies to support in prayer and with financial help!

Where will 600 Missionary Kids Go to School Next Year?

Saving Grace Project Needs Additional Funding

While Grace International School has started the fall term, and students are enjoying their classwork, there remain serious doubts about the future of the school beyond this year. US-based fundraising efforts have been slow -- simply because so few people have heard of the non-denominational school for missionary kids. While efforts are continuing, there are few people coming forward saying "I want to help!" That is discouraging -- but the organizers of Saving Grace remain optimistic and are praying for an outpouring of help before Christmas.

SPECIAL UPDATE:

Saving Grace Goal Now at $1.2 Million!

Saving Grace Project ProgressThrough an amazing course of events, The Saving Grace Project can celebrate the achievement of one of its strategic goals -- the ability to purchase enough property for the relocation of Grace International School!

The school's administration just completed a thorough review of the school's assets and the obligations attached to those assets. As a result of careful financial management, Grace was able to release many of those obligations, thus freeing a significant amount of cash toward the future needs of the school. Combining that cash with the funds already raised for The Saving Grace Project, more than 50% of the goal of Saving Grace has been met!

The most immediate need for the school has been to secure property for the future relocation of the Grace campus. That process can now be completed -- and the Grace administration has already begun steps to purchase a 35-acre tract that will be perfect for the school's future needs.

I hope you will rejoice with all of us associated with Saving Grace. Please continue to work and pray in order that the remaining financial goal of $1.2 million will be reached in the coming months.
