Hello every-one,
We have had quite an intersting school year, It began very late for us Mid-November. We had some ups and downs which led to a great learning experience for us. And two weeks before I left there was an attempted break-in at the main missionary house, but God be praised that it was unsuccessful. This all happened while I was out late condoling with our Head Teacher Naphtaly and his family over the loss of his Step-Mom.
The day I left, our pioneer class six was writing their common entrance exam. We certainly hope they do well. Gregory is working on putting the finishing touches on the new class block, and we will need help with the Cement for plastering and flooring. Gregory has been working hard stocking up the sand we need. We will need by his estimate between 40 to 50 bags @ 5000 - 5500cfa each (550$us). We will also begin work on teacher housing on site at the school January 2013.
We have also been working on a school garden and we started with some beans and green spices and we hope to expand it in the coming year. We also cleared up a portion to use as a football/handball field.
Evangelism. We will be quite busy in the latter part of the year, with some outreach programs. We are thinking of doing a series of lifestyle programs in October and a tent meeting in Mid-November to early December ending up with the district camp meeting, the third week of December. We are also looking to expand our evangelistic pursuits to neighboring towns and villages. Gregory will work close with me on the Kibo and Misage areas. And another opportunity opened for us at Naphtaly's bereavement, as we spent that whole evening showing some animated bible stories and New beginnings in Pidgin. The village is west of the airstrip and is part of the Nkambe Division, and some of the people in attendance pleaded that we come and show the new begginnings in their village. Naphtaly and Divine will work on this during the school holiday. We are also looking at distributing copies of The Great Hope. The Cameroon Mission will be able to get us a large number of copies at a discounted price, but we still have to confirm this with them when we return in September
Our Most pressing needs.2 -4 Bible workers(We hope one SAU student will join us in January, hint)
4 Teachers (We have 3 interests so far for September)
Sound Ssytem for the Tent meeting (Our thanks go to one of our close family friends for this one)
We thank the LORD for every-one that has made our 2011-2012 plans a reality. We pray that the LORD will bless you as you continue to support his work in Lassin
