Lord, we ask you to bring our students higher in you, forgive their sins and may they use their skills for Your Glory, in Jesus name!


Greetings,

The information age that we are living in comes loaded with both positive and negative effects to both personal life and even to the lives of those who live around us. We (TGD) aim at giving the society the best when it comes to IT so that this can cause a change in lives of the individuals and lives of the society at large. This is a great reason that causes us to put in even extra effort to teach and encourage the ones who come through TGD for computer studies to put in more efforts in achieving the best out of it. I have just completed covering Microsoft office Access with the mid-morning class. They can now create Databases and manipulate them to achieve anything they want out of it. Yesterday we began covering Microsoft Office PowerPoint, a program that shall cause them to understand how to create powerful presentations that suits today’s business and social world

As I mentioned, there  are risks that come as a result of technological advancement, as a result of this I normally spare some 20 minutes at least twice a week to share with the students some of the negative effects associated with IT and how they can use it to cause transformation to the society. On Monday after the lesson, I shared with them the dangers of engaging their brains in pornographic materials. This is one the problems that is highly affecting the youth since they can access the internet even on their mobile phones. I made this a priority because on Sunday, a young man approached me for advice after being affected both psychologically and even health wise by this dirty content. It had caused him a great problem on his reproductive system and he was undertaking medication that seemed unfruitful. He is not the only one, this is becoming a great epidemic and a threat to spiritual growth.

Yesterday  after introducing them to PowerPoint, I shared with them on how they can use it to create presentations that can be used to preach the good news unto their fellow youths in the society, yes, the youth like watching catchy and flowery colorful things and PowerPoint can create such.

It’s true that TGD Creates A Better Tomorrow.

Blessings.
