A note from Donna
It has been an honor and privilege to watch as God
has taken our first dreams that evolved into our
DESEO ministry and blessed them beyond what we
dreamed or imagined. We started out in 2011 in just
three schools and a team of two. It was truly magical
to watch the children respond to the program we were
developing. Mostly we could see just how hungry they
were for loving, consistent attention. Right away we
found the school directors surprised that we actually
fulfilled our commitment to arriving on time and
weekly, as promised. The children’s fascination with
the Bible stories and their love for singing served
to spur us on and think about how we might touch
more children. Today, as I observe some of the same
children that were in the program those first years
leading and serving in our local church, and some
of them now members of our DESEO team, I am in
awe of God and how He was and continues to work.
While our focus has been expansion, we have also
maintained a focus on quality. Today, as we serve over
a 1000 children in nine schools, in addition to our
basketball leagues, tutoring and high school outreach,
we are amazed at how God can take a dream coupled
with hard work and determination and use it for His
glory and His purposes. Dream with us, participate
with us, and consider how you can become a vital part
of the continued growth of this outstanding ministry.
