“BLESS or Basic Life Empowerment & Support Services was conceptualized to address the spiritual & educational needs of indigent children, whose families cannot afford to send them to school. The program will run thru the individual outreach ministries of churches, Christian schools, missions organizations, and multinational organizations for 18-20 weeks at 4 hours a day.
BLESS Utilizes the condensed version of the School of Tomorrow®’s highly successful and proven Reading Program – ABCs with Ace & Christi. This program is designed to teach the students how to read in 18-20 weeks. A student must be able to identify and correctly write the letters of the alphabet, say each letter sound, “blend” those sounds together to form words and learn to take basic responsibility for their own learning.
It also introduces basic math concepts and provides reading exercises through the Science and Social Studies PACEs. Character building and Bible stories are built into the program.” (From www.blessachildnet)

BLESS is more than just a reading program. It is a “Basic Literacy Education Saving Souls.”
Most children who utilize the BLESS program may not know their own names, ages, or may have never heard of Jesus Christ before. Over the years people have been taking a stand to make a difference! As a result of people willing to give their time and resources, children and families are being saved. This Christian outreach ministry is a great opportunity to encourage students to become involved in world missions. We need schools and individuals who will partner with BLESS to minister to children in the Philippines and India.” READ MORE.
