ask and you will receive, whatever you need.
You said....
pray and I'll hear from heaven, and I'll heal your land.
As most of you know, Ben and I have a longing in our hearts. We are here for Ben to get his Masters. We desperately want to speak Arabic, successfully. There is a third reason. Africa and what lies beneath. Darfur. This brings me to African Hope.
We were called here, and right now it is for me to serve at a Sudanese refugee school. It is a low budget (if you can even call it that) school that is an opportunity for these people who have been deeply wounded to get an education. They have fled from Sudan, with no land, and without any sort of education they cannot get jobs here in Cairo. I will be taking over the position of the English teacher who is there now, but only in the afternoons. There is no funding, so I will work in a preschool in the mornings (by the way my kids rock!). This means that the students who go in the mornings will not get the tutoring they need to advance to the next grade in English. African Hope is in desperate need of anyone that can help....i'm just saying...we have an extra room :)
The African Hope Learning Center cares for over 600 students annually (from KG to Grade 11) as well as a growing number of adults attending evening classes. The children receive an education far superior to any available in Sudan
Most of you have been asking me what exactly you can pray for. I want these Sudanese refugees to seek purpose, education, guidance, love and above all else, hope.
oh Lord, that's the cry of my heart.
