A New WCS Office in Columbia, SC!

It has certainly been an eventful week. We were in Columbia, South Carolina to help open a new office for Worldwide Community Schools.

It is truly a blessed, exciting event because it means that an increasing number of people will be working to help children around the world have an opportunity to attend a Christian school. Denis Yeo, Ervin Ott, and Steve Auld worked very hard to make all of this happen.

WCS built a beautiful, lakeside house and it became a featured part of the Parade of Homes, earning eight of the eleven awards that were given. The profits from this venture will be used for projects around the world, supported by WCS-Columbia.

Another part of the plan for Columbia is to have their own "CompRenew." CompRenew is a concept that has several parts: 1. Providing a place where business and school organizations can get rid of old computers in a way that won't hurt the environment; 2. Rescuing and selling computer components that still can be used; and 3. Providing instruction for inner city young people in caring for and working with computers.

It is such a great blessing to watch what is happening with this organization.
