'Judo-Christian' school??!

We returned to our usual school which is for mostly Hindu children , but is operated entirely on Christian principals with a strong Bible influence and this is so evident amoung the teachers and children.
We were greeted by all the kids standing and waving in one long double human aisle all the way from the road to the new building at the far end. Having been showered with garlands, flowers and incense among several other traditional greetings we moved like some royal procession!

The children had put on several displays, programs including Judo and Karate, dances etc. This took up the whole morning! After lunch Kym preached to the staff in the newly opened Chapel, (still in need of some finishing touches when funds come in); it was amazing to think that last year only raw foundations were in front of our eyes!


I then was asked to talk to the parents and children (Peter having done his talk in the morning); so many parents turned up that even they were surprised! Some of the kids had sit outside as we were overflowing. At first this was a disappointment but I then realised the Lord had a purpose for me to aim my talk to the parents.

After concluding with the Gospel around 35-40 parents came forward and committed their lives to Christ, and we could introduce them to the Pastor who visits this school and runs a service on Sundays (currently only 10 believers) ...he travels 100k every time there and back by moped to get here. Pray that he can move nearer soon! Now his membership will increase. An awesome time spent on this day... Thank you Jesus

Finally Kym was given a beautiful Saris by the Principal (fine Christian lady) . see for yourself in this picture
