The Jewels of Christ School is a Preschool, K-12 school. There were 300 students last year. 350 are expected fo 2009-2010. It is a Christian School so not only do the students learn basic curriculum they have the Bible integrated into the classroom studies.  Jose Lopez over the years has been the administrator of this school. Gloria has transitioned into this role in the last few years as Jose has focused on growing The New Song Church.  

The New Song Church is the church that Jose Lopez Pastors and I believe the church has about 50 members. It is Jose's goal to double the size of the church in the year 2009.  The church has small groups, a Sunday service, Sunday School, The small groups do street evangelism.  Jose does street evangelism.  

So GEMA USA was established in 1994 and is the American non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization where people can donate and we raise money and collect support from churches, individuals, colleges, who want to give to support the day to day expenses, salaries, etc. that keep these entities together.  So there is a lot that goes into that.  We are working to successfully manage a student sponsorship program which is an extremely complicated endeavor, students come, go, this is a challenging program that we hope to launch in the fall. 

There are multiple churches that are very active in supporting GEMA USA. They send teams down every year and sometimes multiple times a year to do:

Construction Work on the facility, Lead Vacation Bible School programs for the school and in the church, Puppet Shows, Medical Clinics, Street Evangelism, Sports Camps, Teacher Mentor programs Pastors conferences, Mens conferences, Womens Conferences are all being planned.  We "assist" with the coordination of these trips.  

All of these things and Jose will state this, is about bringing Glory to God.  The ultimate objective of all of these activities and events is to bring people in Hainamosa to accept Jesus Christ as their savior and then change their lives and their family's lives and live for Him and empower them to go out and bring people to accept Jesus Christ as their savior and then change their lives and family's lives and live for Him and empower them to go out and bring people to accept Jesus Christ as their savior and then change their lives and family's lives and live for Him and empower them to go out and bring people to accept Jesus Christ as their savior and then change their lives and family's lives and live for Him and empower them to go out and ..  well you get it.
