One

weekday
afternoons
at
the
children s
home
tutoring the
children,
helping
with
homework
and playing with them. There are twenty
children In the
home
with ages ranging from
five to
seventeen.
It has been a
joy
to ge t to
know
them and give
of
ourselveswhere we see
a
great
need.
Our
senior YP (young people ) is a very
exciting
group
of kids to work
with.
Around
sixty
meet
every Friday evening. We begin with
songs , mos t
of
which
are
Scripture
songs
that
we
have taught.
In our
lessons
we
range
In
topics
from
prayer
and couple relations to the
discussion
of their
questions.

WORK IN T H E
G I R L S
HIGH S C H O O L
by
Shanda
The
Religious Education classes at th e
Hatfield Girls High School
have
been
exciting
and
rewarding. For
the
most par t
the
girls are
fun
to
work
with.
Two
of my girls, Tamara and
Nancy, come to
the
Church
now.
Tamara was
already a
Christian
but not at tending Church.
Her
whole
family,
with
the
exception
of
her dad,

recently become Christ ians and
been
baptized.
Nancy was baptized
at
our youth meeting and
her s is te r the
next Sunday. It is
exciting

I
have also
begun
two

(aerobics/exercise) classes
in
the
afternoons
using Chris tian
music.
I

begun att ending
youth meeting.
The
Lord
has
blessed
us
In
letting
us

that.
Please pray

JUNIOR
YOUTH
WORK
by Robin
Most of
the
work that I do is with the junior or
elementary
age
children.
At the present
time
I
am teach ing two youth groups at two
of
th e
chur ch e s h er e
in Harare. I
teach
the
lessons,
Bible verses and do
crafts occasionally. Last
term
one of
the
groups
got so
big
60) that we
had
to split up the
children and
teach
them
in
sh ifts . Wha t
a
nice problem
to
have
Many
of
th e n ew co m ers w ere
ch i ld ren
from
ou r
Scripture
classes in
the public schools.
I teach
grades four through
seven
in two
elementary
schools.
These classes p re sent an exciting
opportunity,
as many
of the children
are
from
home s
where
there is
no Christ ian
influence.
Proverbs 22:6 says,
Train
up
a child in th e
way he
should
go and
when he
is old,
he
will
not
depart
from
it. It iswonderful
and encouraging
to know that we
are
training
the
future leaders,
not
only of
the Church
bu t
also the
future
leaders
