HELPING CHURCHES HELP THEIR COMMUNITY
Several of the new churches started last year have built preschools and
are working to provide ‘nursery’ education for their children. I (Sandra)
have been working some with the teachers to provide training. None have ever
had any formal instruction in teaching. They knew I was teaching Joseph at
home, and they asked if I would come and give them some training. As time
went on, it became clear that they needed help not only with methods of
teaching, but also help in developing a standardized curriculum. Just when I
was feeling overwhelmed, a friend in Nairobi called and asked if she could
come for a visit with her family and bring a guest from America. The guest
turns out to be God’s answer of help for the task. A highly qualified
educator, she is returning to Kenya in September to begin researching the
culture. Our end goal is to develop a curriculum which will meet the needs
of these children. Her commitment and her love for the people are an
encouragement. Her desire to come alongside and use her gifts and talents
for God’s glory is a blessing I can’t even begin to describe. And the friend
from Nairobi? Her children are also making plans to return and work with us
on projects of their own. What an awesome God, indeed! As He brings hearts
together for His plans and His purpose, we praise Him and give thanks for
these good gifts.
