I am thankful to our gracious Lord for how he provides in our daily life. Thanks to God for leading, protecting, encouraging, and answering us. God, during all this school year, ensured our security in traveling to all the schools (over 30 trips from north to south), visiting, helping, encouraging, and training teachers (18 visits, 3 trainings).
Our schools had good academic results at the end of the year because of these activities and due to your prayers, gifts, and support. Twenty of our elementary schools received 100% in their 6th grade exit exams, and four out of our five middle schools received 100% as well. This school year 5,200 children were able to hear the good news in our schools!
I really am so thankful for the opportunity to minister in the northern town. A lot is happening there, though it’s challenging to reach these people. I have confidence and assurance in God’s work, and I’ve been telling them that God is almighty and will bring them through their difficulties. They really see God working. They see the love we show to their kids they see changes in their kids’ life. This makes them bring their kids to schools each year.
This morning I prayed with a man because his financial problems have made him hesitant to bring two of his kids to the school. Another lady came to me for advice about her kids’ situation at home. I took time to share the good news with her and prayed with her too. Ministry here is very interesting but difficult. But our Lord is in control.
Because of your prayers and financial support, we have been able to visit, encourage, help, equip, and train teachers in our 25 schools. We had a seminar for middle school teachers for two weeks and shared many discussions to solve many of teachers’ difficulties and problems.
We had two meetings for pastors and we’re planning another one on 7th September to try to help and equip them to have good school starting on 18th September, Lord willing. After evaluating the year’s work, we saw that it is very important to have principals collaborate in the way they manage their schools.
Then we decided that we need to have three days of training for our 25 principals and their assistants. It will be 2 people from each school and will meet by zones. This will cost $2,000.
Please, pray with us for:
- Money for the principals meeting ($2,000 needed)
- ASEL’s yearly budget ($20,000) from September 2023 to August 2024
- Safety when traveling to schools.
- People to whom we give audio Bibles. That the Spirit will touch them to listen.
- Our families (wives, kids and homes)
- Muslim families to be reached with the good news through their kids attending our schools.
If you’d like to help with these needs you can go here to give!
