Spiritual Self Defense
Gracious God,
As we step into this season of November, we thank you for the gifts of this month for the harvest of our efforts, as we had protest and people were killed and kidnapped, but you still protect us, and this is why every month, we say “thank you for protection” We are grateful for the blessings of each day, the warmth of our homes, the beauty of the changing season, and the love that surrounds us.
In this month, help to be safe as we will have another protest this December, help our girls, that can take care of all the situations we have here, it is a new thing to them. Protect our neighbors.
We ask for your peace to dwell in our hearts and homes, for your guidance to light our paths, and for your love to sustain us now and always.
During the protests, 7 people were killed in our village. It was devastating. We were able to help our dear neighbor with the cost of her brothers funeral, as well as provide a months worth of food for 30 of our poorest neighbors due to the protests causing a staggering inflation to an already vulnerable community. Thank you for helping us- your monthly donations help us to have the margin to help in a moments notice. We love you- God bless you infinitely in every way that would benefit you.
For this month, we had with curriculum “part 15” LIBERATION passage discusses the concept of liberation in the context of Christian faith. It begins with a reference to 1 John 4:15, which acknowledges Jesus Christ as the Savior the world, sent by God the Father. This liberation is presented as God’s desire of His children to return to His kingdom, not because they deserve it, but because of His strength and His wrath against the enemy.
God seeks a close relationship with believers, desiring their liberation from sin and the power of darkness. The passage emphasizes that true freedom comes from accepting God’s love and grace, not through personal merit or ability to avoid sin. It reminds readers that Jesus sacrifice allows them to live in freedom from sin control.
Fatuma: what does it mean to be free from sin? Agness answered, that means we are no longer tempted, or it mean something deeper like no longer being controlled by sin.
Eunice: I learned that freedom from sin is granted through grace, not by our own ability to avoid sin, underscoring reliance on God rather than self-reliance

Men’s Ministry
In November, the men’s ministry was not sitting because of security issues.
Physical Self Defense
Anna, Physical Self Defense Leader
In this month, we didn’t do anything on physical self- defense, the girls were in fear and worry, also they were very busy with their exams preparation.
Intellectual Self Defense
Intellectual self-defense equips girls with essential skills to navigate life confidently and safely. By teaching critical thinking, media awareness and knowledge of their rights, girls learn to question harmful messages and stand up for themselves. Building confidence, emotional skills and understanding healthy boundaries helps them manage relationships and make smart decisions. All together, these tools empower girls to face challenges, make positive choices and create a brighter future.
We thank GOD that, our girls were able to sit on their National Exam this year. They had some challenges during their exams season, so it was postponed for some reasons because of election.
