Dear Ones, We are keeping you all in our prayers as we are entering the festive season which for many of us can also be challenging with the many demands that follow. Nevertheless we rest in the Lord and trust that He will live and move and work in us to accomplish His will. We are already overjoyed to report the following:
OVER HALF A TON OF ICE-CREAM:
Over half a ton of ice cream was generously donated by our friends from Helping Hand. It was distributed to: 5 soup kitchens, and 8 ECD (Early Childcare Development) centers, as well as to each of our students, etc.

Seen here and in some of the following pages are some of our student groups. These are people that through studying the truth of God’s Word and being built up from the inside out will never again be the same. As seen in the photo here the Lord is raising up more leaders from our ranks and here Emily is teaching one of our news groups that basics of Christianity from the course Rooted, developed by Shayne B. Holesgrove.
