Update from Exodus!

Here are a few excerpts from Operation Exodus' latest prayer letter:

"It has been an exciting school year at Exodus - Washington Heights and Inwood. Our amazing God has blessed us in ways we did not expect.
Wonderfully qualified teachers and other professionals, looking for a bit of a financial cushion, have joined our staff and their expertise has influenced our students and staff for the best.
Mentors are consistently coming every Saturday to give children the Good News and students are emotionally more stable and are reading the Bible.
One third grader read the whole Bible in one weekend and is already a little preacher to her family. “The stories are amazing,” she says.
Parents are more engaged. We shared with them that we did not have as much funding for the summer program as in the past (with the implication that we’d have to raise parent fees) and the news mobilized them to find ways to help raise money. They came up with the idea to do a raffle, provided the prize, sold the tickets and this past Friday, one of their friends won a dinner for four at Carmines to celebrate Mother’s Day. Exodus received $2,200 - that is a lot of money coming from the families we serve.
We are encouraged. On May 20, Exodus is hosting a fund-raising event at Dillon Gallery in Chelsea from 7-9pm. The idea is that Exodus friends will connect with our ministry and desire to help us bring down God’s kingdom in Washington Heights and Inwood through quality afterschool tutoring, mentoring and summer achievement programs."

"Please join us in prayer that Exodus after-school tutoring, mentoring and summer achievement programs will continue to support families like Eulalia’s. We are asking the Lord for $100,000 and we hope to get it at the event on May 20."

Please pray with us as we ask the Lord to provide in such an amazing way, and that Exodus will continue to grow and tell many of His wonderous love.
