Wanted 150 people who speak Swahili, Kirundi, Dari, Farsi, Arabic and English to help us conduct reading assessments for 150 children who are in grades 1 to 12. As part of this assessment activity that will take place on Saturday December 22, We want to hold a Christmas party for all the youth who attend and give them Christmas gifts, including warm coats, boots, socks, woolen hats and scarves.
They will be asked to gather at the Mesilla building on Saturday, December 21st to assess alongside the Youth who helped yesterday, so that We alongside those volunteers and the children's parents can deliberate as to the best way forward to help the children in their school work and life.

Adam and I found that there were not many resources to help guide Christian singles on how to court to be married, so they went to the world for help finding a husband or wife. We’ve created a step-by-step guide for Christian courting. This guide helps Christian singles have confidence in who God created them to be, their value, knowing their intentions for courting, creating their expectations for a husband or wife, building boundaries for emotional strength and ending a courtship. By using these guides you will have a Godly foundation to court to be marriage.
