Simos Family Special Update!

Simos Family Dec Update
  • Freedom Vehicle - Now that we have our own Freedom housing for teams when they come, we are ready to buy a multi-passenger team van! The van that would best fit our needs costs about $20,000 and we just received a matching gift of $10,000! Every dollar raised towards the van will be matched until we hit the $20,000 needed! This will be our first Freedom vehicle and will be used to transport teams that we host and transport kids from Piñones to pre-school in Lima. To get your gift matched, go to the link provided here. Then, fill in the form and in the comment box write, “For the van…Match it!Click here to give towards the Van! C'mon, help us knock this thing out!
  • Missions Teams - As I mentioned above, we now have our own Freedom housing (only a 1/2 block from our homes) to host missions teams that come to help us here in the D.R. If you would like to bring a group this summer, we can make that happen! This can even be a group of friends who want to take a trip like this. You won’t regret it! Contact (jasonhilgeman@itisforfreedom.com) for more info.
  • Pre-School - January 9 we will be starting a pre-school in Batey Lima! There are 22 little 4 year olds who will be a part of this, as well as 5 adults/young adults from Lima who will help us with the project. We’ll have class 3 days a week for 2 hours a day. Pamela and Katie Cline are going to be leading the charge. We would like to be able to include a few children from Piñones if the details work out (like transportation, can you say Freedom van? hint hint).
