Transforming a Life- Transforming a Generation

For the last three and a half years, we have been involved in the development of the International University of Central Asia in Tokmok, Kyrygzstan. It is an amazing place with the most amazing students and faculty. BUT, IUCA has a tremendous need. Before we share that, may I share a word from David, who is now the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of IUCA.


I was there before Mercy Foundation opened the academic doors the fall of 2008. It has been my privilege to not only teach several classes there, but, I have had the opportunity to come to know many of the students personally. They are incredible young people who are getting an education in order to change their lives, the lives of their families, and the condition of their country. A vast majority of them could not be there without outside financial help.


When I think of IUCA three words come to mind.

The first is TRANSFORMATIONAL. Students are not just getting an outstanding education, they are experiencing transformation of how they think, dream and hope. It is nothing short of a miracle.

The second word is UNIQUE. Most of the universities in Kyrgyzstan are located in the capitol of Bishkek which means that a lot of students cannot go due to finances and distances. Therefore, many of the villages and small towns are left out. IUCA is not in Bishkek, but it is in a smaller city about one hour’s drive. Most of our students come from villages and rural areas.


The third word is EXCELLENCE. Some of the finest administrators and faculty are gathered on the campus to provide competent, honest and challenging academics supported by a strong social and moral context. IUCA is truly one of a kind in Kyrgyzstan.
 I ask that you join me and my wife and a host of others to see to it that no student who wants not only an education, but a new life, is not turned away because of finances. Thank you.

NOW THE NEED

This year IUCA will have hundreds of  students who require assistance. The brightest minds in the country, yet with out our help , they may not be able to complete their study. The problem is a big one... over two hundred thousand dollars BIG . But we have an idea ..
Did you know that if just 30 people around the world committed to find us just 12 sponsors of just $50 a month, we could guarantee that the doors of IUCA continue to be open to the least of these, for years to come....

If you are interested in being a LAMb sponsorship rep in your area, please contact  (John Wright) sunmasterjohn@aol.com or us jayeschooler@aol.com and we will send you everything that you need to make a real difference... video's, photo's, brochures and posters, even testimonials from current IUCA Students . Everything that you need to get started

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO BE ONE OF 30 PEOPLE TO FIND 12 SPONSORS?
YOUR HELP IN FINDING SPONSORS WILL TRANSFORM A LIFE AND A GENERATION!
