Greetings from Luanshya!
This morning a lecturer from Technical and Vocational Training College, in Luanshya, passed by the Christian Resource Centre and spoke with Sherry. He said that he had passed the building many times but had never ventured inside. He teaches English at the college and was interested in what the CRC had to offer him and his students. Sherry spent fifteen minutes showing him what was available by way of books and other resources that we have here. He is very interested in introducing his students to our ministry. Please pray that this will be another inroad into the hearts of the youth of our community.
As we mentioned last week, school has begun. All of our children from the Lighthouse are enrolled and attending classes daily. The other children in the community we assist are also in classes. This evening we spoke to the District Education Officer. She said she had been given an allocation of funds for new teachers because every school in the District has a shortfall in their staffing. This was exceptional news for John and Sarah Bwalya who are waiting to be placed in schools. Please pray for this ongoing need for both students and teachers.
Discipleship with Sarah continues. She has completed book six in the series and now starts a verse by verse-phrase by phrase-study of the book of 1 Thessalonians. She took one look at book seven and realized that the first six books were a piece of cake. Book seven is real Bible study. Pray for Sarah and for Sherry and they take an adventure
As we look forward to this year, we see a lot of possibilities for expanding and maintaining the ministry. Pray for wisdom and open doors.
In His Service,
Patrick and Sherry
