memories of Pastor Jim and
Deshler. The couple was
a retreat for mission-
staff in Guatemala. They were
guests of missionaries Herbert

While staying in Guatemala City (a
of 3 million people) they visited
newly formed Mighty Fortress
Church. They were amazed

were hired. A minimal fee
set, together with a scholarship
ram for the poor. Rented bus
was arranged for those
needed it. The school, Colegio
fillo Fuerte, was opened
with 71 students in grades

children are having the oppor-
to learn about Jesus.
Since so many students come from
families (25 from the city dump

Bruce said the bus rental is
than the rental on the school
If a bus could be provided,
savings would take place.
After seeing first hand the needs of
these children and the great effort put
forth by the Guatemala congregation,
the Molls felt God's nudge to 'do some-
thing' for this school. Their goal is to
provide a suitable bus for this school
before the new school year begins in
January, 2003.
Aid Association for l.utherans,
Branch 9 t 7, has donated surplus oper-
ating funds to this project. The St.
Peter, Deshler, Lutheran Women's
Missionary League (LWML) desig-
nated their special LWML Sunday
offerings to the project as well.
Pastor Moll has been working with
Marvin Baden who is searching tbr a
bus for the Guatemala school. The
used bus will cost approximately
$15,000. Specifications include Ihat
the bus must be a 1993 or newer model
as buses 1992 or older have their taxes
tripled in Guatemala. The Guatemalan
church has agreed to send someone to
drive the bus to Guatemala.
Charitable gifts are now being
sought for this project. Those who
would like to help are to make checks
payable to St. Peter LWML ( a tax
deductible charitable organization) and
send to the Rev. James Moll, Box 91

sitive tape.

dresses on only one side of the pack-
age.
• Place a return address label inside
the package

items, like vases, with newspaper or
packing material to avoid damage due
to shock. When mailing framed photo-
graphs, take the glass out of the frame
and wrap it separately.

one pound into the post office for mail-
ing
