prayers for them and their teachers as they busily prepare. The exams will take place in November, while the official end of the year is the first week of December. We’ve had over 550 students enrolled between the primary and secondary schools this year, which is a new record of children we’ve been able to minister to through education.
Children’s Home - Nothing has changed with the government’s approval of children’s homes in Uganda since our last update. We continue to be available to our probation officer and police station to assist with any cases of abandoned or orphaned children whether it is a temporary or long term assistance. Pray for our government to make decisions in the best interest of its children.
Discipleship Ministry and Church -Dr. Macris and Pastor Allan have been leading the teaching at church and discipleship classes with the Michalski’s away. We have multiple conferences scheduled with churches in the coming year that we’ve met with in the past. We also have some ministries in new locations that are asking us to come and teach. We are grateful to God for open doors to share the Bible and ask for you to pray that we teach it boldly and accurately.

Christmas Gifts Change -In the past, we have given a gift bag of food and treats to each student in our children’s home and students from the community. This year we are planning to only give to families that can best use the gifts as identified by our team of social workers. The gifts will be privately delivered to the family’s home. This change comes for two reasons. The first is that with large increase in enrolment, we don’t have the financial resources to meet the cost. Secondly, parents complained that the gift bags were worth more than what they pay for a child to attend our school and asking why we charge anything if we have the capability of giving such a large amount of gifts. We decided it was best to reduce the gift giving to only the families that need it the most during the Christmas Season. We still need funds for this. If you are interested in giving a gift bag, $20 CAD will purchase a bag of food items that includes rice, flour, sugar, and other items.
