OMNI SCHOOL EXPANSION OPPORTUNITY
OMNI currently serves over 200
students in over-crowded classrooms
necessitating the use of makeshift
classrooms and the cafeteria. A new
school wing which will include three new
classrooms and a teacher office is
desperately needed. The new wing will
cost roughly $95,000 of which
OMNI has approximately $33,000
on hand so far.
A generous donor has agreed to match up to $25,000 if other supporters of
OMNI are able to raise funds for the school wing by June 30, 2015. This will
allow the construction of the wing to begin and put OMNI at over 85% of its
capital goal.
OMNI has had a 100% graduation rate for the past five years and all OMNI
students have tested in the top ten percent in national testing. OMNI is
seeking assistance in meeting this challenge grant to allow the new school
wing to be constructed this year. Please prayerfully consider a donation to
support the education of the impoverished children in Zambia.
If you have any questions please see Jon Wilhelm, Cindy Strieter-Boland or
Charlie Koch.
Pierstorf Memorial Loan Fund
provides interest-free loans to
Lutheran students who are or will be

Loan Fund is now accepting applications for the
2015-2016 school year. Application deadline is
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Apply now!

OMNI Medical team will depart for Zambia, Africa on
July 17-Aug 2, 2015. Each year this mission treats over
4,000 patients medically and saves many lives through
its outreach into the tribal communities in Zambia.

poor, or just a little over $2.81 per patient.
Please prayerfully consider making a donation to OMNI
to support the costs of these medications.
Make checks payable to OMNI:

"I am a sophomore at North Olmsted High school. I
love playing music, so I play many instruments. My
primary instrument I play is violin, and at school I am
concertmaster. I also participate in band on the
oboe, and during marching season I played
percussion. This year I have also enjoyed being in
CYO, the Contemporary Youth Orchestra. On the
side I take ballet lessons and enjoy doing Zumba. I
look forward to going to Detroit with my Youth
Group this summer.”
