Dear Friends,

 Many things have been happening in Faith’s ministry. We are planning on two older orphans coming to Canada on April 1 for six months. They will be the guests of our board member George Elliott and his wife Aileen. The two boys are James Bushimbi and Force Phiri and the purpose of their visit it to gain experience helping George on his large farm. They have never travelled before. Boarding planes will be an entirely new experience. Would you pray for their travel and that their visas will arrive on time. This is very important. Faith should arrive at the end of May for about 3 weeks. Next month I’ll send her itinerary. Oh, we hope that many of you can join us is different meetings. Both of us and the boys would love to meet many of you, our wonderful supporters. 

Faith received the “deed” to the farm property this past month. This is extremely important and we are very thankful that it has finally been issued. 

The 3,500 children are all back in school. There are 2,042 children in primary school and 1,378 in secondary school. We appreciate your support of these children very much. Thank you.  The Skills Training School continues to train the orphans in a Life Coping Skill like tailoring, Bible, carpentry, and building. She just received a new class of 30 young people. Out of this number, 25 have come from her centres and are grade 12 graduates, so they have more education than any of the former students. We are very pleased. During their time at the STC they are taught the Scriptures and there is real Spiritual growth in their lives. Thank you for your part in training these young people. None of this would be possible without your help. May God bless you as we labour together for these orphans.  

Sincerely,
