Greetings from Mabatini Center. We’ve had an amazing school term that has come to a close and we want to share some of the highlights. Thank you for your support and partnership as we continue working together to transform lives through Christ. Jackline Gaithuma Head Teacher, Mabatini   ![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 - Students shared their talents through dance, beauty contests, fashion shows, drawing, and drama at our talent show. - Our music team participated in the Kenya Music Festivals and advanced to the regional level. - Students participated in ball games and chess, with one student winning the chess competition. ![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 - Across Mabatini’s primary and high schools, 172 students gave their lives to Christ, 103 joined new believers classes, and 67 were baptized. - The Nairobi Region Ladies Annual Conference brought together 210 women for sessions on healthy relationships and conflict resolution, with encouragement to practice respect and forgiveness in their families and communities. - Our Synergy Service brought community members, church members, staff, and students together for worship, strengthening relationships within the community. ![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 Christ’s Church of the Valley led a Vacation Bible School for more than 600 students, with crafts, games, worship, and Bible stories. - A team from Central Christian Church trained teachers in classroom management, guidance, and counseling.   ![icon-stars](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-stars.svg) ### A Story of Hope Bella and her siblings needed stable care during a difficult family transition. A guardian welcomed them and enrolled them in MOHI, giving the children an opportunity to continue their education. Social workers visited regularly, sharing the Gospel and helping the children attend school consistently. The children also received the school supplies they needed. Through church fellowship, the siblings found encouragement for their faith. Two attended [Angaza Discovery Camp](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/angaza-discovery-camp/), chose to give their lives to Jesus, and joined discipleship classes. Two of the siblings later moved to MOHI boarding schools, where their daily needs could be met as they focused on learning. Their guardian, school staff, and church community continue providing care and encouragement as the children grow. A different name has been used to honor privacy.   ![icon-hands](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-hands.svg) ### Prayer Requests - Pray for Grade 6 and 9 students preparing for national exit tests and the next stage of their education. - Thank God for existing partners and pray for new partnerships and sponsors for unsponsored students. - Pray for favor as we share God’s Word in the community and for people to grow in faith. - Pray for provision, peace, and good health for students, staff, and church members.   ![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.
