Educational Outreach

While we have served here in Namibia and specifically in our rural town, we have certainly preached the gospel to hundreds of people.  But we have also tried to be the hands and feet of Jesus in reaching out to our community by buying housing supplies, clothes, eyeglasses, giving out food, medical aid, and many other ways as well.

One of the local government schools in December told me how poorly their children were doing in mathematics and English, and asked if there was any way to help them.  The government can not afford to help them with needed supplies, much less supplementary learning materials.  So I sent the word out over e-mail and thanks to New Hope Presbyterian, Clemmons, NC, and some other individual donors, $1400 was raised to help the school out.

Last week I received the funds, and while doing business in the Capital was able to buy a trunk load of supplementary mathematics and English learning material.  I delivered the materials to the school this week, and the children, teachers and office staff were overwhelmed with how much we were able to purchase for them. 

Many thanks to all of our donors for this special needs project.

God bless you all!
