Prayers
Heavenly Father, we come before you with grateful hearts, thanking you for the blessings of this month. We celebrate the successes of our standard seven students and recognize the hard work and dedication they have shown.
We lift up our dear girls Eunice, Rebecca, Tatu, Sarah, and Rehema who have just completed their national examinations for standard four and form two. We pray for their results, asking for your guidance and favor upon them. May they receive the fruits of their labor and experience joy in their accomplishments.
Grant them peace as they wait their results, and may they always find strength in your love and support. We trust in your divine plan for each of them. Thank You, Lord for hearing our prayers. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Spiritual Self Defense
For this month, we had with curriculum “part 14” SALVATION (the good news of salvation) in this part it emphasizes the state of the world as a fallen place filled with sin, as shown that humanity has brought about its own ruin through obedience. It mentions that human cannot save themselves by their own efforts, which is why Jesus came to restore the relationship with God. Jesus mission was to redeem and liberate humanity from sin, enabling believers to return to God’s presence and experience eternal life.
John 1:51 is cited where Jesus tell his followers that, they will witness the heaven opening and angels moving between heaven and him, the son of man. This vision symbolizes Jesus as the mediator and bridge between God and humanity. 1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” This verse emphasizes the sacrifice of Jesus, who took our sins upon himself, allowing us to turn away from sin and embrace a life of righteousness, ultimately offering healing through his suffering.
Tatu: I wonder what life would look like, if every person accepted and embraced the salvation offered by Jesus.
Sarah: for this part “14” I have learned that people would show compassion and kindness to each other, forgiving freely.
Agness: I learned that Jesus took our sins because he loves us so much and wants to help us be better. I also understand that forgiveness is very important. When we make a mistake, we need to say, “I’m sorry’’
Men’s Ministry
As for the last month the boys had meeting with Mr. Erasto and Rashan, we thank God for this month that the boys understood what they have been taught. In that case our men’s are really pushing the boys to say NO in any circumstance or indicator that might show up.
Last month: Mr. Erasto and Rashan had a meeting with our boys at school teaching them about drug abuse as it has been a big challenge to young age. Also the boys had to learn from them about the homosexual issues and they help the boys in order to overcome matter is to say NO for any indicator that might showed up. With that the boys were asking about the rainbow mark, and what is truth in bible about the rainbow.
Our men’s did well and played their part in such a way that, they can help the boys to become good leaders for their Nation in years to come and help to spread the lessons that they have been learned from our men’s ministry.
Physical Self Defense
We’re grateful to have Anna, a skilled physical self-defense leader among our older girls. This month, they focused on correcting common mistakes that have persisted for a long time. With their dedication, they now feel like new learners, ready to take on challenges just like in the movies. We believe that with continued practice, they will only get better and more confident in their skills.
Intellectual Self Defense
As we work to empower young girls, fostering a culture of intellectual self-defense will not only enhance their decision making abilities but also encourage them to become informed and active participants in society. Through these efforts, we can equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
