New School: Steve, Our Project Manager!

This past Wednesday we had a work day with the school staff as we joined the construction workers on the site. We had a great devotional time together, worked and enjoyed some rice, beans and posho for lunch (posho…. A white mass of tasteless starch made from corn flour). Seth, Sarah and Jodie joined us for a portion of the morning which the staff and workers enjoyed since there are very few ‘muzungu’ little ones around. Seth was more impressed with the cows grazing on the site and the piles of rock and sand than ‘daddy’s new school’. He spent the entire morning exploring, climbing piles, and running through the shells of buildings shouting ‘Hello!’ as loud as he could.

Again, we hope you can catch a bit of the excitement we feel about this great progress. Maybe a guided video tour through our existing school would help with that. Be assured…. The wide open space, sufficient size, and efficiency of this new school will be treasured by our staff and students. And our project manager, Steve from Colorado, has set an amazing standard of excellence which is very uncommon here. He has been a blessing to Music For Life. Please pray for him and his family (wife and four girls) as he strives to maintain that high standard and continues to hole devotions weekly, to which he invites all the workers, many of which are muslim. Four have actually given their lives to Christ and the joy they’re finding through their new faith is evident. It’s very exciting.

Thanks for your love for us and your prayers for this project! We’ll be in touch!

Mark, Sarah, Seth and Jodie
