MORE KIDS NEED EDUCATION SUPPORT


There we're running our free school, there are more than 100 children around the community who do not go to school. There are those that were never been been schooling and that's why probably you will find children of 16 years old and never been to a school in her/his life in our school in carrefour area. We can share a testimony of one of our child whose her age is 17 years old and just left kindergarten, it's not correct with this situation. To serve more children in this area, we will need a land with a construction even with wood and sheet metal, we will also need benches and funds for teachers salaries...

CONTROL WHAT YOU'RE SAYING


As Servant of God, Becareful on what you saying on your kids, your friends, what you pronounce with your mouth, it will have an effect! if you bless someone, He or she will be bless, if you cursed,the same reaction. This is why when brothers and sisters meet together and said, God bless you, you should answer, I receive it and believe you're bless. Turn your tongue a thousand times before you pronounce something against somebody.

BIBLES DISTRIBUTION TO CHILDREN


We bought 270 Creole Bibles and we distributed one hundred creole Bibles to the children we have in Carrefour area and Tuesday we will distribute 170 Creole Bibles to the 170 children we have in Tomgato - Petit Harpon (to the country side)
