Change lives through BLESS®
The BLESS (Basic Literacy Education Saving Souls®) program, offered by ACEM®, is active in reaching out to underprivileged children in countries around the world, such as the Philippines and India. This 12– to 15–week program consists of PACEs that culminate with the reading of the Gospel of Mark. Through the PACEs, BLESS Centers help children read and learn basic math skills. Most important, BLESS introduces the children and their parents to Jesus Christ through God’s Word in the PACEs.
For many years now, the BLESS program has made it possible for people to contribute their time and resources to help needy children and their families. This program is a great opportunity for you and your students to become involved in world missions.
Sponsor one child for $20 to give him the opportunity to read, write, and learn about Jesus. For $200, a group of 10 children can complete the program at a BLESS Center. This new BLESS Center may reach 10 children every 12–15 weeks!
