I was given a new student who is too young for my class but
there is no space in the class of his age. While my class is writing stories
and complete sentences he is learning to form letters and learning their names.
In Burundi there is only one full English school. This boy, comes from an
English speaking country and home this makes the choice of education in Burundi
difficult. Please pray for The King’s School as it continues to shine the light
of Christ to those in Burundi who have no other option for education.

Students Leading
Days of hand holding are over, you are old boys and girls
now it is time for you to lead your own morning worship time.
It has been a joy to see these students of mine, some only 4
years old leading worship for their class. It’s great to see the seeds that are
being planted coming to life. Every morning we have a time of worship and bible
stories. We are reading a children’s Bible cover to cover. It is great for them
to see the Old Testament stories connect with the New Testament. In the Muslim
faith the Old Testament stories are the same. This gives a great platform for
trust and the gospel to be shared with those who have heard those stories at
home. My students who are Muslim are asking questions and really taking it all
to heart. In the afternoon or on the playground I hear them talking to other
students about questions they have about the stories.
Please continue to pray for all my students that the word
would not fall on deaf ears.

Market Fire
My beloved market was burned to the ground. All that is left
is the exterior brick walls and the remains of the crumpled roof. It’s been
hard to find what we are looking for these days. When I need something I used
to go through a ritual of thinking, where must I go in the market to get that.
Now I start the process and stop—slightly annoyed that my ease of shopping has
been interrupted. But for others their lively hood, their whole business has
been destroyed. Please continue to pray for the many Christians who lost
everything in the market fire.
