Our Progress



I hereby take this opportunity to get you through our accomplishments. Below is a summary of what we have covered for this week.
1.       Paul and I marked the end of the mid and evening classes by concluding with Internet and Email for their training. We thank God because this training is an eye opener for many who are hopefully looking forward to tap into technological opportunities in the world.
2.       Paul is knowledgeably getting the morning class through Microsoft Excel. This is a class full of focused teens with highly set goals.
3.       The leadership had a meeting to discuss about the school requirements for our children.
In this meeting we collected all that are needed by the children in reflection to their account balances.
4.       The leadership also brought heads together to ensure that the borehole building kicks off.
This is such beautiful blessing in this society and it is going to benefit so many people. As we all know water is source of life, this magnificently tales how important this project is to this poor community.
5.       The agricultural team is weeding up different vegetables in the farm. This is a time where vegetables are highly marketable. We have some rains and so it is so relevant to the vegetables plants so that when sunny season comes, we already have some vegetables for our children.
6.       We withdrew some funds for the smooth running of the organization.
7.       We had frequent meetings to encourage our staffs and motivate them to do job with passion and all of their energy. Our team has grown into unexpected levels and everybody in the team can do a number of things for tgd. This can't be taken for granted because all this is a result of your effort and other sponsors. My happiness is to see the staff grow into different talents and ability.
8.       The tailoring classes are on progress. This skill is so essential and it is going to ignite many people's performance and productivity in the society.
9.       We are still working on final touches in getting Jayden into our family.
 
Regards,
Erick.

Frida

I think we need to add this girl to our family….

 

 

Frida Abuti

She's a girl of 17 years old born in a family of six. Her father was found dead and later discovered that was killed. Her mother has been so sick for above 7 years, the elder brother who is a school dropout who is looking after cattle in people's home for the support of the family basic needs. She has four brothers named; William, Charles and Mawingu with one sister called Florida who is the lastborn. Frida joined Esokone Primary School using an offering collected during her father's funeral. She's a very bright, God fearing and visional who would like to be a Doctor and change the family status by educating the you sister and brothers. Her last year school performance was as follows 5/21, 2/21, 2/21 with a mean grade of (B-). Despite of all the challenges she's going through, having one meal a day or sometimes without, she managed to be among the top three in the present examination with the same Grade. Her mother who has been so sick for seven years passed away on Friday and burried on Sunday leaving this children with no other option but just staying in their house without any support but just praying. In her mother's funeral, we had an offering of 30 dollars for catering her school fees in secong term. She dire needs help.

Did I mention I love Jesus?

My blog log-in refuses to work. Yet I could post by sending these emails if I am determined. As it is, though, my options are extremely limited.

But no matter the limitations of technology, I am loving Jesus on this Holy Week. Without concern for pagan rituals and cultural habits- I look to God's Word to see Jesus revealed in the Bible. How grateful I am. How transformed. I am so glad He doesn't leave us to ourselves but redeems our lives and makes all things new.

All glory to Jesus. He came back to life and is still alive. I am eager to see Him come as He promised. And I pray as He told me, that I will be able to stamd on that Day, the great and terrible Day of the Lord!

Now is the time of God's Favor. Now is the day of salvation.

Seek righteousness, seek humility- that you may be sheltered on that Day.

All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Pastor Joseph from India



Hi Stephanie,
I want to take this opportunity to let you know that we were highly blessed to receive Bishop's friend from India. He is known as Pastor Joseph. Pastor Joseph can be said to be a man of God with great Biblical knowledge. He had some good time with us; he talked to our computer students together with the stuff about the zeal to read a bible. He used a computer to demonstrate in his sermon, Pastor said that computers are prone to damages as a result of viruses and equally human beings normally get viruses that can damage our bodies. Some of viruses he mentioned in his demonstration are theft, rude, carelessness, hypocrisy, pride, selfishness among others.
Therefore, in this talk he said that the Bible is our antivirus that can wash many of our problems. It was a wonderful moment for us. He liked our leadership, arrangement and organization. He said that we are well organized, bold, loving and caring. I am so excited about what is God is doing to make us international people. God has blessed us to an extent of mingling and free interacting with people from different countries and caliber with handful of issues. God promotes the one at the bottom to be the top; He blesses the poorest with richness. Him who blessed Abraham is able to bless anyone who respects and adheres to His rules.
The session ended when everyone wanted a continuation. A closing prayer from Pastor Joseph marked the end of our short meeting.
Regards,
Erick
