A Day at Joska

Today we went to church at the girls school at Joska. The service was great, it was about the way of the cross and how as Christians the way to heaven is to Enter by the way of the cross. To hear the children respond off of what the pastor would ask, you know they get it and they strive to live it. After service we had lunch and then got to go on a tour of their classrooms, dorms, greenhouses, fish ponds and vegetable gardens. Oh, I forgot about the pigs - they have pigs too. If that wasn't enough to tire us out, then we got to see the boys school. We got to see their new bottled water business, we even got to run the assembly line and make fill and seal some bottles ourselves. Between the two schools there are over 1,000 students ranging from 6th to 12th grade.  To see the continued empowerment Missions of Hopes and CMF gives to the students AWESOME. Please continue to pray for the students, staff and leaders - they all are doing a great work to the glory of God.
Thank you for your continued prayers for our team.  God Bless You:)

  1. Awesome! Thanks for the posts. How was the burned down dorm at the boy' school situation? I hope someone got to see Anthony, our sponsored child at Joska!

  2. Hey Jim. The dorm is completely destroyed. But the boys are in the computer lab. They remodeled that with bunks. There are 50 boys left to come back. As far as Anthony is concerned, Joanne tried but you didn't tell her his last name and there are way too many Anthony's to know which one it was. All the boys are in one school

  3. Oh that is too bad. I really hope that MOHI can send his care package to him at another time, then. Anthony's full name and child # were listed on an envelope visible through the bag along with his picture. Keep the updates coming. It is great to read about all that you are doing.
