Sudan School
Mark 7:13 ”You have made the word of God of none effect through your traditions”
Sudan is a land of superstitions and traditions. Penetrating the traditions once set in the lives of the people is very difficult. Given a choice, the word of God or the traditions handed down, they will chose their traditions almost every time making the word of God of none effect.
God has given us the opportunity to raise and train a young generation of children in the ways of the Kingdom through Alpha Primary School. Learning the ways of the Kingdom is a priority in each class room. Our teachers are born again, Kingdom people.
The first school building is now finished and has about 165 students excitedly attending class each day. Each day begins with the truth of God’s word and prayer. Classes are designed to teach Kingdom principles along with academic studies.
There are very few certified teachers in Sudan so most of the teachers must be brought in from Uganda. The cost of teacher salaries, housing and transport can be very expensive. We must now raise an additional $1,000 a month to operate Alpha Primary School. Once the administration cost is raised we will be able to have all seven classes functioning. We now have P1, P2 and P3 classes.
If school fees are required then the parents cannot send their children to school. Children are now required to pay the equivalent of $2.50 a term (3 months). Many cannot even pay this and would not be able to attend if the fees were more.
Seven ($7) dollars a month or sixty five dollars ($65) a year will support a child in school.
The demand is so great that we could have three hundred children attending Alpha Primary School.
We are praying for funds to cover the administration cost of the school so that we can reach the next generation with truth and life.


Blessings,
Pastor Dave Easterly
