School Highlights

• Our soccer team competed at the county level. Students enjoyed playing against other schools and connecting with their peers.

• We recruited 70 preschool students and 121 other students from the community into the program. They are expected to join our school in January 2027. We thank God for this opportunity to welcome more students.

• Staff took part in a one-day team-building event, learning from one another and strengthening relationships through shared activities.

Church Highlights

• All our Grade 6 girls attended Angaza Discovery Camp, where they learned God’s Word through mentorship and enjoyed activities together. By God’s grace, 25 students gave their lives to Christ. We have begun follow-up discipleship classes to nurture their faith and prepare them for baptism.

• We held Ignite for Grade 7 and 8 students, who enjoyed the interactive sessions.

• We celebrated the baptism of nine students who had completed discipleship classes and publicly committed their lives to following Christ.

• Through door-to-door evangelism, we visited 100 homes, sharing the Gospel and praying with families. Five people gave their lives to Christ and are now attending our church.

Together in Ministry

• A team from Grace Bible Church in Nampa, Idaho, visited students’ families, sharing God’s Word and offering encouragement and prayer. They also led a Vacation Bible School on the theme “Shining Bright for Jesus,” with Bible lessons, stories, crafts, games, and other activities. Sponsored students enjoyed a field trip to educational sites.

• A team from Parkside Christian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, provided medical screenings for preschool students. The screenings helped identify health concerns early and supported students’ well-being.

A Story of Hope

Mark was finding it difficult to manage his emotions and build positive relationships at school. His behavior disrupted lessons and affected his academic progress. He was also facing challenges at home.

Teachers, social workers, and the guidance and counseling team worked together to support him through regular counseling, mentorship, and home visits.

With consistent guidance and encouragement, Mark began learning positive ways to express himself, manage his emotions, and interact respectfully with others. He also developed a better understanding of the consequences of his choices.

Today, Mark is doing well in school and has built meaningful relationships with classmates and teachers. He is more respectful and willing to take part in school activities. We continue to walk alongside him as he grows.
