To turn this dream into reality, we would like to build a dedicated vocational facility and expand our agricultural projects—like chicken raising and gardening—on our campus near the airport, providing both classroom space and real hands-on experience. We also dream of collaborating with supporters who feel called to visit our campus and share their expertise in trades like electrical, carpentry, computer, welding, agriculture, and business entrepreneurship.

We would love to hear your thoughts and invite you to be a part of this exciting next chapter in our mission.

Dear Friends and Supporters:

If you ask me what I’ve been dreaming about for PCMP all these years, it has always been about more than just putting kids in classrooms—it’s about giving our young people in Fontaine a real future.

When we first began, our heart was simple: to care for children whose families couldn't afford an education, surrounding them with God's love and a strong academic foundation. But as our students graduated high school, we saw them face a tough reality. Without access to higher education or trade skills, many struggled to find work and support their families.

That is why we are expanding our vision. We want to do more than educate the mind and transform the heart; we also want to equip their hands. By integrating practical vocational training—like agriculture, computer technology, electrical work, and entrepreneurship—we would be giving our graduates the tools to build small businesses, create jobs, and break the cycle of poverty. This isn't a shift away from where we started, but the natural fulfillment of it: raising up Christ-centered leaders who are academically equipped, vocationally skilled, and ready to transform our community.
