CHANGING COMMUNITIES THROUGH ASCS
I can never stand on our projects land for long without tears of joy and gratitude filling my heart and eyes. I remember what this place was once—a small hidden area with overgrown bushes and thorns. We took time clearing the place so children would have a spot to enjoy and a better learning and nurturing environment.
From purchasing land to setting up phases one and two of the school and to where we are today, it has been God. It feels very enjoyable and so good hearing children laugh, chatter, and play in a place that once was very quiet, a place where a school holds a number of nurturing activities.
For over two years, I have spent weekly with our children and the staff I respect. As I watched the space, I saw that this place kept changing and growing. Children grow in stature and knowledge of the Lord, our God. I have a great time cheering with mothers, fathers, grandparents, uncles, aunties and several children’s caregivers. Our place of learning has become a children’s celebration ground, very different from what they once thought was a place far out of reach. I have seen homes come to know the Lord in this place last year, 2024.
We pray that the sweet sounds of laughter, chatter, and worship will continue to fill this place and all the classrooms, fields, and playgrounds.
It has been over two years of beautiful work here, yet, in so many ways, the work is just beginning. Our focus remains on restoring and transforming lives and, thus, changing communities.
