Children Of The Kingdom - Igmin Kibe

Hi Everyone,
Okay, all of you work teams that have come and worked on the Education Center - doing painting, cleaning, hammering and more painting - feast your eyes on the finished product!!! Yahoo!!!

The Igmin Kibe (Children of the Kingdom) Education Center was opened for teaching on Monday, January 24th. Everyone is so excited that this day is finally here. Alot of hard work and prayer has allowed this day to happen and we're very thankful to the Lord for His provisions. At staff meeting yesterday, Theresa shared that as she and Esther were taking the children around to see the entire place, the children were VERY excited about the two bathrooms. There is boys and girls room with a toilet, sink and a shower (with a blue shower curtain). These kids don't experience bathrooms - much less one with a shower and shower curtain.

For the first few weeks, Esther and Theresa will be teaching in the same classroom as Theresa will be doing some training with Esther - but in a few weeks, Esther will get her own classroom.
The first picture up above is of the "Reading Nook". Isn't it colorful and adorable! Thanks to the N.C. team for providing the bean bag chairs.
Pray for these ten children below. Pray that the Father will give to them all His good gifts of love, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control, peace, faithfulness, gentleness and JOY!

There hasn't been alot of of this in their young lives and we so want them to know His love and see His perfect plan for each of their lives.

In the Book of Isaiah, it is written that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning (key) of wisdom." Father, we pray for these ten children and the plans you have for each of them. Thank You for Your loving kindness, for the Education Center, and for Theresa and Esther. Use them to instill wisdom, knowledge and hope into their lives. Amen

In-joy,

Eileen and Crist
