We are halfway there!

Principal Geri and the teachers at Christ the King pour themselves into each student. Often bringing students who were falling behind in public schools, back up to speed and on track with their peers. After being 2 years behind, a recent Christ the King graduate earned a scholarship to a private high school.
Offering small enrollment, providing the opportunity for more individual attention, violin class, dance class, a community garden, and an emphasis on serving others, Christ the King is an anchor of hope and light in their Chicago neighborhood.
As the church's finances changed, Pastor John and Geri, out of their love of the students and commitment to their community, do not take a salary.

Sheryl provided the following update about Kierlena:
Kierlena has been a delight to work with over the last year, and I have all confidence she would be a good steward of this kind of gift. Since giving birth to her baby, she has been working full time at a daycare center as well as working on getting her GED. She is a model resident! She was born in Haiti (she grew up in an orphanage there). She is a wonderful mother and very determined to make a good and safe life for her and her son. We love her dearly. Thanks to you and the entire staff for all you do to help God's people. Please let me know if you need anything further from us.
Peace in Christ,
Sheryl DeWitt

Pastor John and Principal Geri also put a strong emphasis on serving others which, in a community where people struggle to meet basic necessities, they give out of the love of their hearts sharing in response to what is given to them.

Your Donations Made a Difference in Zayd's Life
Zayd’s grandmother shared the following note: “I want to thank whoever helped me send Zayd to Christ the King this year. I have never been so blessed. This has been a trying year, what with Zayd being abandoned by his mother and his father's death, my health concerns, and now having to move because the neighborhood is too bad and too many shootings. I am trying to make ends meet, and I do not want Zayd in another school. He needs a school where he can be taught Jesus and the teachers are like his family. Only two more years, but I want him to finish those two years at Christ the King. The Brazeals are like his grandparents, and his teacher is like his aunt. With everything that has happened to him, he needs a small, loving, but strict environment which teaches him how much God loves him.” |
