International Link
The International Link serves international visitors who come to Augusta area campuses for study, research, and military training. The International Link exists as a non-profit, interdenominational Christian organization working through volunteers from local churches to serve international guests in the Central Savannah River Area. The International Link is the only organization of its kind in the CSRA. During any week, over 40 volunteers and the staff are involved in English classes for international visitors, Bible studies, and times of mentoring new believers, as well as coordinating the outreach to internationals in the area. The ministry of “Link” continues thanks to a number of Christian volunteers helping with English classes, Bible studies, rides to events, hosting dinners, delivering furniture and serving in many other ways. In 2012, there were over 125 internationals in the English classes. Bible studies are held each week for women, men and older monolingual speakers. The international visitors include atheists, Hindus, Muslims and others from 55 nations. Someday those from “every nation, tribe, people and language” will be standing before the throne of God worshiping Him alone.

Linda Tuccirone, Augusta GA
In 2000, a small group of people began to dream about starting an inner city Christian school for the children who need it the most and whose parents could afford it the least. They discovered that the children in urban Augusta were not unlike the children in all urban school districts in America, living in poverty (1 in 3) and undereducated. The schools in the district were some of the worst in the state. Recognizing that under-education and social counter productivity are as closely correlated as smoking and lung cancer, they set about doing the research and raising the money to start a school with an intentional mission to the children from low-income families. Heritage Academy creates a culture of learning with high expectations for academic, character and spiritual development. The curriculum is rigorous. Children may participate in a Suzuki violin program at no cost. All students participate in our weekly chapel program. The students have consistently out performed both national and county averages on standardized tests. Heritage Academy is an independent school offering a quality Christ-centered education to children of diverse economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds, empowering them to become a positive influence for Christ in this community and around the world.
