In need of prayer

To make this a plain and clear as possible, my school needs prayer. I cannot go into too much detail other than telling you that our enrollment is 20 students short of where we need to be to make budget, therefore we've had to make a lot of cuts in things from classroom budgets to salary.

It is a trying time and we know that God has a purpose in all of this, but it does weigh down on us. All of the teachers will be receiving their first pay check of the lesser amount this Friday. Please pray that we can all budget accordingly (since some of our housing and bills can be quite pricey).

Also please pray for our enrollemnt. It seems like everytime we get one new student, we lose two. Hence the student shortage.

Our student shortage is quite a surprise to most of us as well. We have been told for several years that enrollement would not be a problem with the military moving most of their troops to the Army post and Air Force base in the area. Unfortunately, that has not worked to our advantage. We are, however, the least expensive school in the country.

Again, please pray for more students, discernment (especially for the leaders of the school, if the enrollment drops any more then they will have some major decisions to make), patience (as we wait for more students), and just our needs to be met in general.
