Today January 5th is the 2 year anniversary of Ivy's home-going. She is greatly missed by the staff and children at Good Samaritan. This year was even harder because last month her sister Ida made the decision to leave the Children's Home and return to her village. It is Ida's birthday tomorrow. It was devastating to the staff and the children to see Ida leave. She is a very sick girl and was getting good care at the Chidlren's Home. Thandie has heard from her recently and she seems to be doing well considering she is back in the village during rainy season. Please continue to pray for Ida.
January 5th also marks the first day of school for our secondary students. They are starting a new school this year and we have great hopes for their education. Secondary schoool (high school) is not free to the public in Malawi. This is a great cost to the ministry but one that we can't afford not to pay. Educating these children is a cruital part of their future. They need to learn to read so they can study their Bible, obtain employment and open more doors to be used for Christ.
Ida W. (the other Ida) turned 14 years old today; Simion turned 8 years old.
