Dear Friend,

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your generosity and the love you are continuously sharing with the school children that they can continue to move forward in their goal of getting an academic education. Your donation means a lot for the future of the school children.

By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the Gethsemane Christian School was established in April, 2016, meeting in 3 small congested bed rooms in a rented home. The vision was that poor, persecuted, illiterate and less privileged Christian children could have the opportunity to get an academic education for a better future.  We began with a target of 100 children for the first school session April 2016 to March 2017, and God sent 150 children. God provided the school with their own building having 09 class rooms and three rest rooms in a 2675 square foot building. In August 2017 the school moved into their own new building. We set a new target to admit 150 more children in the new school. Praise the Lord, there are now 289 students in school by the end of 2017. We are expecting many more in the beginning of the new academic education session from the first of April, 2018.

The father of a new student shared with me that one evening he asked his daughter to pray with him. She started to recite Muslim Quran verses, which she learned from her Muslim School as she was studying in the Muslim majority children school. He further said that he thought that it was an alarming situation for him and his family. He immediately removed his daughter from that school and considered to send her to a Christian School. He said, ‘thank God’, he found Gethsemane Christian School and he admitted his daughter. Now he is satisfied that she is getting academic education as well as Christian teachings. She is learning to pray to Jesus Christ, who hears her prayers.

On 20 Jan, 2018, I shared word of God, in the assembly to the students and read the following scripture:

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”  Ephesians 15:5-17

I also quoted the parables of the ten foolish and wise virgins as well as the wise and foolish builders. I told the students that they should not live like the unwise and foolish virgins and builders who waste their precious time. When you come here to study, you should make the most of every opportunity to take keen interest in the study and after school when you go home you must also study to be successful in the future.  The Holy Spirit moved at that time and after the assembly was over, 4 older class students who were convicted came to me in the Principal office and requested that I should  pray for them because they try hard to study but cannot take heart in the study. I prayed for the students and also encouraged and counseled

them.

God bless you richly.

Your brother in Christ,

Pastor Nazir
