Something that I realised Ihaven't mentioned yet, is the fact that every day at school i am involved with leading a lunch hour praise and worship session with the preach, and with two other teachers help to lead bible studies and prayers
It's amazing that even in a church run school there are many kids that aren't born again and who come from non-Christian families, even muslim families, who are coming to God and worshipping and praying everyday. Many of them have given some really powerful testimonies and prayed for eachother about awful things like bereavements and abuse, and its has been a real privelege to help them.
Either me or one of the other two teachers share something from the bible every day and usually the kids themselves lead worship with drums and spontaneous singing which is the best! Its interesting that many of the kids who are come the ones who either work really hard in class, for example Mephi who is a son of David Baraza who is an elder at the church, or they are the ones who are really difficult and disruptive who suddenly disclose something about their home situation. Either way I love to see kids learning science one minute and then lost in worship the next. It has taught me a lot about having high expectations of kids, to see them really grow in God.
Keep praying for this school!
