Over the summer holidays secondary school students have been dropping into Grace & Light’s offices to share their stories.

They came from different local towns and schools where the Jos volunteers have previously visited. Many were afraid they would have to drop out at the start of the new school year because their families were no longer able to pay the school fees.

“We are delighted to help pay their school fees from our student deprivation fund and grateful to our supporters who keep this fund topped up,” said international coordinator Tassie Ghata.

During July the Jos volunteers visited two government secondary school. Here they shared the gospel of social righteousness with 220 students. Of these, 156 chose to be tested for HIV/ AIDS, no students tested positive.

One hundred and twenty-six students rededicated their lives to Christ, and another 27 made a first Christian commitment (70% of the total).

Prayer Requests

Please pray for:

• Students and their families who are suffering financially during the current economic tightening
• Students who made a first commitment or recommit their lives, that they will grow in maturity and relationship with Jesus Christ
• More donations to our student deprivation fund so it remains topped up and we can help students whenever they ask for support.
