Greetings from Chumani school and community. Thank you for your invaluable support as we continue to transform lives through the hope of Christ. We are pleased to share some of our term highlights with you. Griffin Muhindi Milimu Head Teacher, Chumani   ![Pencil - Primary Blue - Icon 2-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Icons/Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png?width=883&height=889&name=Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png) ### School Highlights - Our school garden, planted using Farming God’s Way principles, provided enough fresh vegetables for students throughout the term. Grade 4 students grew different vegetables, while Grade 5 students planted watermelons in their small plots. Staff and students enjoyed harvesting and sharing melons for a second consecutive term. The main harvest was large enough to share with Kibarani and Kiwandani centers. ![Church - Primary Blue - Icon 3](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png?width=951&height=1212&name=Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png) ### Church Highlights - Our Grade 6 girls attended [Angaza Discovery Camp](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/angaza-discovery-camp/) for two weeks, receiving guidance on godly character and their identity in Christ. - Through outdoor evangelism, the church reached 220 people. Eighteen gave their lives to Christ and joined a local church. We also held classes for 54 new believers. - We held a Synergy Sunday service with staff, community members, students, and their families. ![MOHI\_Icon-Impct\_v1\_07-13-23-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png) ### Together in Ministry - A team from NorthPointe Community Church in Dewitt, Michigan, led a Vacation Bible School and a fun day for students. Lessons focused on remaining rooted in Christ. - A team from Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, led a Vacation Bible School and took 124 sponsored students on a trip to Mida Creek and Falconry in Malindi. During an outreach event, parents and students also received a pair of shoes each.   ![icon-stars](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-stars.svg) ### A Story of Hope Samuel has long put his family’s needs first. As a young man, he set aside plans to train as a teacher to help care for his siblings. As a father, he has continued working to ensure his children receive care and an education. After an injury limited the work he could do, Samuel continued seeking ways to support his family. Farming opportunities offered some income, but work was not always available. The family also faced difficult housing conditions. Throughout these challenges, he remained active in his church. An opportunity to work at MOHI has since given Samuel a more reliable source of income. He has approached the role with determination, carrying out his duties diligently and earning the trust of his colleagues and supervisors. Samuel continues caring for his children and working toward greater stability for his family. His perseverance and commitment to his work are evident as he serves his community. A different name has been used to honor privacy.   ![icon-hands](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-hands.svg) ### Prayer Requests - Thank God for the recent solar installation at our school, which allows us to operate electrical equipment and light our rooms. - Pray for the well-being of our partners and community. - Pray for enough rain so that school and community farms can produce food for our families.   ![icon-heart](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-heart.svg) ### Encourage Your Sponsored Child As you read about how God is working, please consider sending a message of encouragement to your sponsored child through the [MOHI mobile app](https://mohiafrica.org/mobile-app/) or through your [online sponsor account](https://give.mohiafrica.org/login). Your words can remind them that someone is praying for them, cheering them on, and grateful to be part of their journey.   **We'd Appreciate Your Feedback** Let us know what you thought of this community update by [taking our 4-question survey.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSehVIy8z2dAKHsLqUENg759C6H9zQqzaTVtIy0n5sYmgiOPgA/viewform?usp=sf_link) It only takes about a minute.
