What an Incredible First Week of School!

Hello Everyone,

What an incredible first week we had at the school! Thank you so much to all of you who were praying for us. Things were a little chaotic on Monday, but overall, everything went really well. The students showed up with smiles on their faces and so much excitement for the new school year!

We are incredibly blessed with an amazing staff and team of teachers, cooks, cleaners, bus drivers, and others who work together each day to love, serve, and care for our students.

In regard to our new high school building, we were able to begin using the new chapel/dining hall this week, which was such a blessing. It’s amazing to see it already filled with students—learning about their Creator, eating lunch together, laughing, and simply enjoying their time at school. After all the work that has gone into this building, seeing it being used for its intended purpose has been really special.

This past Tuesday evening, we also had our Parent Open House, and it was packed! It was a great opportunity for our families to hear more about the school and our plans for the year, meet our staff, tour the facilities, and even enjoy a coffee from our coffee shop.

We shared a video with the parents highlighting the first few days of school and some of what has happened so far this year. If you’d like to watch it, here is the link:

Thank you also to those of you who have already responded and donated toward our high school building project. We are so grateful! We are hoping that by Monday or Tuesday, two of the new classrooms will be ready for students to begin using.

Another need we have shared about recently, but would like to highlight again, is our Student Sponsorship Program. One of the ways we are able to keep tuition affordable for families in our community is through the generosity of individuals and families who participate in this program. Sponsorship helps bridge the gap and allows us to continue providing our students with a quality education while keeping tuition at a level our families can afford.

If this is something you might be interested in, please reach out to me by email (jason@thehouseofblessing.org) or text message (915-316-9496). We would love to share with you some of the specific students who are currently in need of sponsorship and a little bit about their stories.

Most of all, thank you for your faithful support, encouragement, generosity, and prayers. We are so thankful for each of you and the role you continue to play in what God is doing here in Bachíniva.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Back To School...Our 5th Year!

Hello Friends,

It’s hard to believe that this week we will begin our 5th school year!

It seems like just yesterday that we took a leap of faith and opened our Christian English school with 53 students. And now, this week, 140 students in 1st through 12th grade will be arriving on our campus for another school year!

What an incredible journey it has been.

Over the years, it has been such a joy to watch all that God has done through our school and our team, and especially in the lives of our students, their families, and our community. We have seen God provide, open doors, change lives, and grow this school in ways we never could have imagined when we first started.

This year, we are incredibly thankful for our amazing team of 21 men and women who have the opportunity each day to teach, educate, encourage, love, and care for our students—and most importantly, to share with them the love, grace, and compassion of an amazing God.

We are also so thankful for each of you who has walked alongside us on this journey of faith. We truly could not do this without your support, encouragement, financial contributions, visits, and especially your prayers. Your partnership means more to us than we can express.

As we prepare to welcome our students back this week, we created a special video to share with you. In it, we talk about some specific ways you can be praying for our school this year, give you a little tour of the campus, and show you the progress on our new high school building project!

We would especially appreciate your prayers as we begin this new school year—for our students, their families, our teachers and staff, and for God to continue using our school to make a lasting difference in our community.

You can also follow along throughout the year and see updates through our House of Blessing Facebook page and our school Facebook page.

Thank you again for believing in House of Blessing and our school, praying for us, and being such an important part of what God is doing here in Bachíniva Mexico. We are excited to see what He has in store for Year 5!

With gratitude,

Jason

JOY TO THE WORLD!!!

Feliz Navidad from Mexico! I hope this post and email finds you well, celebrating, enjoying family and reflecting on our sweet Saviors birth.

Things are going well for us down here in Bachiniva. Actually, to be honest, they seem more than well. What a blessing the past 4.5 months have been since starting our 4th school year. No doubt it has been insanely busy and chaotic at times. But more so, its been a tremendous blessing and incredible opportunity to invest in, teach and love on 126 students. Yes, that’s how many we have enrolled this year from 1st to 11th grade. Incredible to watch and see the school continue to grow.

Not only does it continue to grow enrollment wise, but in all kinds of different ways. Growth in academics, special events, involvement in the community, spiritual deepening, english speaking and so much more. This year our school has had further opportunities to compete against schools throughout the city and region in sporting events. Our volleyball teams have won first place in a few different tournaments. Two of our sophomore boys took first place in regionals for track and field and qualified for the state meet in Chihuahua City. Edgar took 5th place in his race and Rodrigo won 1st place. What an incredible joy it was to be watch and cheer them on alongside their families.

Before Christmas break began on December 19th, we had 4 different Christmas Programs here at the school. What an absolute joy to listen to the Christmas story shared through songs & music, dance, poems, bible verses and stories. Each event saw over 125 family and friends pack our school to enjoy their children’s performance and sharing.

There are so many more stories to share with you all, that I thought it’d be best to do so via a video. One of our music teachers and admin assistants put together a video recap that we shared with the school on the last day of school.

As 2025 draws to a close next year and we began yet another New Year, we are so very thankful. To each and everyone one of you for your unconditional and faithful prayers, visits, support, financial contributions notes & cards. Truly a blessing. As you enjoy the pictures and videos, please know that you all have played a huge part in our school and ministry. Thank you for helping us and allowing us to have this school!

May you all have a most wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Until next time!
