Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during
the year
Twenty-five
students
are in receipt of bursaries
for their secondary
school education
at the Training
Centre and
it is vital that the charity
continues
to raise funds for the operating
costs ofthe school and the
centre; so we continue to support as best we can, both financially
and
prayerfully.
One former student
is also receiving a bursary for university
education.
The English Church
in Benidorm
continues
to minister to
the needs of
both residents
and visitors. Two
people have been baptised during the
year and services are well attended
on the whole. Revd Alan
Robertson*s oversight
ofthe ministry
is much appreciated
and we are
looking forward to the arrival of Trevor and Maggie Ramsey.
