OUR KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL


This week has been a very busy, as our children were going back to school. The school term opened on Monday and children were excited to go back to school. Our children are grateful for the opportunity given to them to go to school and so they always look forward to the time to go back to school. Thank all, dear sponsors for putting joy on the faces of these children!
I was moved to see the joy and excitement of the children who had dropped out of school and some who were going to school for their first time! Some children got sponsors during my trip last year. Children who don't go to school feel so bad, they feel that they are less privileged. One mother came to our office and told us that one day her child asked her why he was not going to school like other children. "why don't i put on uniform like other children?" asked the 8 year old boy, "why do i stay home when the children of our neighbors go to school?". Many of such children wonder whether they will ever go to school.
Education means much to these children and to us. To these children, this is pretty much the only way they will be able to sustain themselves. In our country, it is so hard to get a job if you have not gone to school.
And to us as the church, education is the way to train and equip good leaders with a Christian background.
Most of our children are now able to speak and communicate in English. There is a big difference now in our community as we send more and more children to school.
Thank you friends for making a difference in our community, one child at a time.
However, we need more labourers to join us for this cause. Hundreds of children still need help to be able to go to school. Many children are still homeless or live with poor grandmother and are without food for days. Many need clothing and medical care. We feel bad that children here still die of Malaria for lack of mosquito nets. We need more prayers and support.
Please pray about supporting a child or send a gift of any amount to help these children in need. You can mail your tax deductible gift to our partner church in California at:
NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
20394 SAN MIGUEL AVENUE
CASTRO VALLEY, CA 94546

They will send us your support with in days. New Life Christian church volunteered to help us until we have registered our ministry in the USA.
Your prayers are also very important to us. We will send you information on how to pray for us or support a child, on request.
Blessings.
