What a long-anticipated day – our first day of school! To start the school year, we all gathered around the newly-restored dining hall bell and snapped photos as it was rung by first one of our older staffers, Mr. Vaughan, and then by the youngest person on campus, 2-year old Ereina. It was a very special moment that can only be fully appreciated by those who know what it has taken to get here: working through the mental process of reorganization, the physical manual labor, and/or the support of your prayers.
As we gathered together on Sunday, our staff finally complete, we were reminded of Who really deserves the praise as we joined in singing \”Great Is Thy Faithfulness\”.
We are small in number this year, but we are no less determined to make a difference in the lives of the students to whom we are ministering. We know we are being watched by others as well, the French who live among us and also the surrounding African community, all who wonder why we are here. Please pray that what they see in us will be what God wants to communicate, and that we will be ready to take advantage of opportunities to share about God\’s faithfulness.
We thank each one of you for your part in our new beginning!
