Recently Sakeji students, workers, and staff volunteered their time to help maintain a local school. Two classroom walls were prepped and painted, the outside of one classroom block, as well as functioning door locks installed. Here are a few pictures to record the event.
Our purpose in doing this was to continue to connect with the local community in practical ways and also have an opportunity to share God’s love and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Some student responses were:
“This was my first time painting a building and I actually enjoyed it. We need to have a good attitude and serve others. By doing this we are not only serving others, but also serving God. He set us an example for us so that we should follow in His steps.”
“Thank you to all who helped organize it and to all who participated and made the job fun! I went feeling nervous, and I came back with a smile and satisfaction.”
“Helping is my gift and I really enjoyed it…the stains on my clothes will remind me of the fun time I had painting at Sakufola School.”

Grade One students have been getting their hands dirty in the garden! Gardening and learning about growing plants is all part of the Sakeji Mission School experience. Well done, Gr1’s!

Students left on the 2018 CopperBelt Tour on Thursday morning. They will be playing matches at Amano Christian School on Friday and Saturday. We wish them all a successful and safe journey.

Senior students are helping to spend a little extra time reading at the river with some of the junior students. We really appreciate their help in assisting their young friends to build their reading skills.

The students and missionary staff hosted a ‘tea’ to celebrate our workers and recognize an employee who was retiring from his position in the school kitchen. It was great to be able to celebrate together and say ‘thank-you’ to the Sakeji workers.

The Grade One students are also hard at work as the second term begins. In Social Studies, students were asked to create a family name for their groups, label each family member, and dress up for their chosen family role.

Students are busy engaged in their studies. Whether it is learning their spelling lists for the week, or practicing their musical numbers on the recorder, students are making progress. We have a lot to be thankful for and pray these skills and more will be used to honor the Lord Jesus Christ.
