On July 25, the Presbytery of the Western Reserve endorsed the Dougbe River Presbyterian School project as a validated mission. We’re grateful for this recognition and for all of the support we’ve received from groups in the Presbytery.
Really, this acknowledges an existing relationship, or rather a series of growing relationships. Fourteen of the churches that have contributed to the project are members of the Presbytery of the Western Reserve, although we have also received support from other presbyteries, congregations in other denominations, schools and individual donors. This mission began at Noble Road Presbyterian Church, where the average attendance at Sunday worship is about 40. As a mission of Noble Road, it would have been quixotic, to say the least. But it is no longer just Noble Road’s mission, and really hasn’t been for a couple of years now. Together with our partners, we are big enough to not fail, and we will not fail.
This seems like an appropriate time to say thank you to everyone who has helped us. Some of us feel a Spirit at work in our progress. Definitely, the spirit of generosity in a lot of kind people has propelled us forward. Thank you.
