Six new families have come to join us for this round of training. Four are Maasai, one couple is from the Baraguyu tribe and the last couple is from the Digo tribe. The Maasai and Baraguyu are all pastoralists but the Digo (as seen in picture) are farmers and fishermen who live on the east coast of the country. It always fascinates me to see just who God is going to bring our way. His passionate pursuit for the lost is displayed in the hearts of each of these new students. They all come to us with a passion to reach their own people with the truth of God's amazing love and sacrifice.
The students have been in session for over a month learning preventative medicine, Farming God's Way, in addition to Christian growth and discipleship. They bring with them 12 bright-eyed, eager to learn children. Olias is doing a bang up job with this energetic group. :-) (see picture of Olias and his students)
April 16th will find all our students eager to return to their home villages where they will begin 3 weeks of practicum, applying all that they have learned as well as gathering ideas and questions to bring back with them for their second half of training. It's an exciting time indeed. Light has entered into these remote areas and we praise God for this! "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard nor can our minds imagine what God has prepared for those He loves!" Blessed be His Name!
We ask that you please be in prayer for our new students by name:
1. Digo tribe: Yakobo and Eva
2. Baraguyu tribe: Philemon and Debora
3. Maasai Tribe: Mataio and Anna
4. Maasai Tribe: Musa and Agnes
