We are now in our third week of holding classes in the new schoolhouse, and things have been going really well. The teachers and students have adjusted nicely as we continue to finish up some minor projects and work out a few kinks. We are trying to instill in the kids a sense of ownership and responsibility over the building as they attend classes in it – it isn’t always easy, but so far it seems they are excited to be there and they have put in the effort to keep it clean and intact.
We’ve had a few new students join the Agape family since the beginning of the new year, an old student return, and seen some others move on to other schools – such is life around here. For the new students, we pray that the Lord would use us in their lives to help bring them to Himself. For the old students, we entrust their care to the Holy Spirit that He may watch over them and lead them to live lives that are pleasing in to God.
Everyday we are in that school and with these children, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness and grace, and are in awe at the way He has blessed and provided for this ministry! Thank you for your prayers!
