Today is the first day of school for the new year. Students seem excited to be back, and parents seem reluctant to leave. Some families have just returned from furlough, so those students are especially glad to be back and see their friends.
We have a few staff members who are still traveling, as well as parents who are returning home; please pray for their safety. Also pray that the sweet unity we are sensing among the staff will not only continue, but will be felt by the students.
This Saturday, our director and a few other staff and students from ICA, will attend a memorial service for Zoro (the guard who was recently killed here at ICA) in his home village about 3 hours north of Bouake. Please pray that they will be a testimony of God’s love to his family and friends who do not know Him.
And thanks again for your prayers.
