EBENEZAR CHRISTIAN
ACADEMY
Last
week we started our Christian school, we have called EBENEZAR CHRISTIAN ACADEMY.
This is the day we have been looking forward to. We have been praying that God
will help us to start a school with a Christian foundation.
We
have been sending our children to other schools; some of them private and
others government schools. But with time things have changed; religion and
Christian values are no longer an issue in these schools. And yet our desire is
send back into the community educated godly people that will help to transform
communities. We feel it is important to give our children education with a
Christian background, so that we can help uphold Christian values in this
generation and the next generation.
With
God’s help we located a big building in our village, we have enrolled teachers
and bought a few facilities that we can start with, and last week we took a
step of faith and started the school.
The
community is very excited that we have started for them a school. This will
help the so many children that have no opportunity to go to school. Already, we
have so many children and yet we have started with fewer classes. We decided to
begin with classes up to P.4 (Grade 4) but we were overwhelmed with the
children that turned up for enrollment. We already have 150 registered children
and more are registering every day.
We
need prayers and support; we still have to pay rent for the school premises. We
also need money to pay the teachers and buy school supplies and furniture. We give these children lunch every day and
most of them this is the only meal they take. We also plan to buy shoes and
uniform for all the children. It is hard to take care for these children,
especially those that don’t have sponsors.
Our
vision is to make this the best school in Kabale and Uganda. We believe with
God’s help we will produce godly men and women that will help us to pursue our
vision to transform our community and the communities around us. We will also
teach skills to the poor children and orphans from our community, which will
help them to get jobs and be self sustaining. With God we know that all things
are possible!
Please
pray for us and support us. We believe together we can make a difference in our
community.
