Schools
All schools are nearly finished with exams. In the primary section, the annual Talent exhibition took place on 15th August 2025. All schools closed on 22 August 2925.
A new stove has been installed in the primary section. This will help reduce the wood consumption in the school. The work of construction at the boys’ and girls’ dormitories is under way, we thank you very much for your continued love and support towards these projects.
Farm
Work continues at Jerusalem Farm, some 220 acres purchased two years ago.
Currently 40 acres of beans are growing, 30 head of cattle, numerous chickens and 150 beehives are producing food for the project and for sale in local markets. Two large pits have been dug (100 x 50 x 15 feet and 120 x 70 x 18 feet respectively) in which fish will be reared. A church has been established at the farm and a well has been bored which serves the farm and community.
Gabriel said “We have just finished harvesting beans and the new crops eg. (Maize) are being started this week. We thank God for the rain that has started in time.”
17th Annual Youth Camp
Preparations are being made for the 17th annual youth camp.
This will be held later in August and 100s of children are expected to attend.

We value prayer for the facilitating team, good weather and the distribution of Bibles to the campers
