The New School!

We have had our first week at school! Time is rather precious at the moment, but just a quick update!

We started on Monday with the 3 children, and we had a great time! They really enjoyed it, even though it is sad having just the 3 of them! By the end of the week it got worse...one of them was ill, the other one is being her usual self from what she was at her previous school, unfortunately... We really pray for her that she will come to see her needs, and realise what life is like...

But apart from that it is great. Today we had our first outing, to the National Waterway museum. Not very spectacular, but it was just to relax and do something different. Academically this curriculum is fantastic, but very hard work, so it is nice to do something different!
The afternoons are really good as well. It is very nice to have discussions, speak about Literature, statements etc from a Christian viewpoint, and to discuss things together. It is quite amazing how much they know!

God has really blest us, even though we look minute at the moment, but spiritualy we feel that already we have grown as a school. We trust God for the future, and we pray that at least one more family will join with us! It is so good for children to be there, and the sooner the better! It is good to train children in a Godly way and a Godly environment, so teach them to think in a Biblical way, to look at life froma Christian perspective! And children really blossom under that, and I know that God blesses the families that try to train the child in the way that it should go!

But anyway, anyone, feel free to come and see 'the school', we're usually there, apart from Wednesday mornings when we go to the leisure centre... Just come in and we'll make you a cupper and show you round, and indoctrinate and brainwash you on the spot...

Well done. May the Lord bless you in this. Will there more students joining in? Or are you limiting this to children of parents who are attending your church?

At the moment we have another two spaces for full time children... After registration we hope to have many more! The school is open for anyone accepting the foundations of the school...In other words, any one who accepts what the school stands for. Non-Christians can join, as long as they recognise that this is a Christian school, so there is no room for arguments about attending devotions etc.

We are really excited about it, and in a way we hope a non-christian family will join, and be blessed by it! But it will be hard as well, as it can cause problems, and it will be a real challenge!

Thank you for your prayers! We do need them!
