Eva MAy Russell SChool

The Eva May Russell School in Monte Plata began in the 1980s in a former chicken coop before becoming part of the Kids Alive ministry. For nearly 30 years, it has grown to provide holistic care and education to 210 students, ranging from age 4 through 9th grade. Located in Monte Plata, the third poorest province in the country, the school serves some of the most vulnerable families in the community.

Current Ways to Pray

  • That more students would be inspired to share testimonies of how God has worked in their lives, and that the truths they learn at school would touch the hearts of their family members and draw them closer to God. 

  • As Eva Russell School serves students through 9th grade, our oldest are transitioning to local high schools to complete their education. Pray for smooth adjustments, healthy friendships, and steadfast commitment to their studies. 

  • This fall, we welcomed a new class of preschoolers who will hear the Gospel and experience life-changing care. Pray that each child would encounter Christ personally and grow in His love. 

  • 15 students in the first grade class are still waiting for a Student Champion. Pray that God would provide sponsors to walk alongside them in prayer, encouragement, and support.
