Children












Here are three of the seven children we have been able to help support through the gifts given to my ministry for children education.

The first one is the son of a widow. His mother is trying to support the family by making embroidery items and selling them. By my being able to assist with the school fees she was able to provide the necessary items for him to participate for the entire school year.

The second boy is the child of a single woman whose husband left and isn't supporting the family. She is able to provide education for her other children, however this little boy is deft and the only available school is a 4 hour bus ride from home and he would need to move to the school only returning for Christmas and major holidays. He is 7 years old and the report I received is that he is adapting well and learning. His was a special case where in addition to the school fees he needed everything to live away from home. The clothing is only washed once a month so he needed clothes to last a month at a time. He needed bedding, dishes, soap ect all to last 11 months. Combined with the help that was donated others including church members helped him get all the required items and start his school year completely supported.

The third girl is one from my neighborhood. I have personally been supporting her for 3 years now. With the added donations I was able to provide 2 sets of clothes, new shoes, underwear and all the supplies needed each year.

The forth and fifth children are from a place in the far north of Madagascar. This place is in much need of hearing the Gospel. Through the school that these 2 children attend, they are receiving love and education presented by Christians. These two children are very poor and without assistance they would not be able to get an education.

The last two children are orphans. They lost their parents just over a year ago. The uncle took the 4 children into his home. He and his wife already have children of their own, but did not want the children to go into an orphanage. The help was supposed to be for one of the children to go to the public school, but somehow with God's blessings both of the children of school age were able to enroll.

Many thanks to the support that came in to help these children. I hope to have new pictures after the Christmas Holiday.
