Our SPASE program is in full swing, as our 21 students came back from Christmas break ready to grow both academically and spiritually! At the start of this new year, we took portraits of the students to give to our supporters, and they had an absolute BLAST showing off their personalities in their goofy pictures. In this post, you’ll meet six of our students, learn about what they enjoy, and hear some of the prayers we have for the individual students.

Elijah has a quiet spirit to him, but when you bring him out of his shell he’s so much fun! He likes going to trampoline parks like High Heaven, and he really wants people to know that he’s super good at playing Madden’20.
Prayer: That Elijah would learn to speak with the gentleness of the Lord
