The Pavia Project was created in May of 2010 to assist a church in Pavia, Venezuela that consists of over 300 children. God has opened many doors for our family to assist Pastors Gerson & Francoise Perez & their team as they minister to this large group of children & teenagers. Over the summer we were pleased to host a team from Raleigh First Assembly of God in Raleigh, North Carolina. They were able to use street evangelism & dramas to radically transform the community of Pavia. God has amazing plans in store for the precious people of Pavia.
In May we were approached by the children's ministries director from NC to ask if this project could be the project for the children of NC. BGMC is the program of the Assemblies of God that our children give to in order to support missions. We are pleased that The Pavia Project became the 2010 project for the churches in NC & remains their project currently. We were additionally blessed that this project is also being recognized on a national basis. We are so thankful to everyone that is giving from their hearts to help these children. Our initial goal was to raise at least $65,000. These funds cover the purchase of property that we covers half a city block containing a 3000 sq. ft. warehouse. It also was to provide bathroom facilities for over 300 children, & provide the christian resources needed to properly train them in the things of God.
Currently, we have hosted several teams that have assisted in Outreach, Evangelism, Construction, & much more. The bathrooms are complete & the building is halfway paid off. We have bettered the lighting & electricity as well as increased the perimeter was to improve security. There is still so much to be done!
