A beginning: Mukantha community school

We have started a new project to help put a roof on a community school near our church plant. A women from the school's PTA came to us after Church one day asking if we could help. We eventually went to see the school and saw how shamefully the conditions were for the 80+ children. The PTA had done a fine job at building a new school but did not have the resources to put a roof on it and unfortunately the grass roofed school they were using was literally falling down. 

Thanks to some very generous friends of this ministry and their desire to see Christ honored, we were able to deliver the 80 pieces of timber yesterday and today the carpenters will begin the assembly of the trusses. (As you can see this is not a multi-million dollar school but is adequate... little is much when God is in it!) There is still much work to be done but we are excited of the future possibilities! At least... it's a beginning.

There is still much we want to do at this school including a clean water bore hole, installing proper windows and doors, creating cement floors, attaching proper chalk boards but we are at least off to a good start!!!
