A new school

This construction site for a new school was the first visit my first team made on our first day of hiking. We were able to talk with the workers for a few minutes and got permission to visit the families nearby. Some children were watching us from their home up the hill a bit, but were very shy despite their curiosity. That family will be my next entry.

Here are some things I ask you to pray over this school and these workers:

* Pray that these workers will read and listen to the Bibles and music that were distributed in the area. One of the workers came to the home where we were visiting. Pray that God will work in their hearts and draw them to Him.

* Pray that the workers will be safe as they finish construction.

* Pray that this school will be a blessing to the families in this particular valley. Some children have to walk 2 hours both to and from school each day. Hopefully this new school will give children more time with their families.

* Pray for Christian teachers and leaders for the school.
