Home visit



Today I had the privilege of visiting Setara, one of the children in Grade 4. I couldn’t find her house at first, and could hardly believe my eyes when I saw their new house. What a joy to see that they now have four rooms – well prepared for when Setara’s older brother brings home a wife – he is almost fourteen so there is plenty of time before that happens, there was a proper toilet and the courtyard has plenty of room for their two cows and the calf which Setara told me had been born just this Friday.

It was very encouraging to know that Setara now lives in a good house. Setara’s father, Motaleb, had the flue but her mother, Jahanara, got the ‘tea-pot’ boiling and soon had a snack ready for me.

Investigating Water


Aunty Popy and Pre-school are learning about floating and splashing water - I think the context was Noah.

Eliel Murmu

Just a quick note to inform you that our teacher, Eliel Murmu, has passed his HSC exams (Grade 12). We praise God for this and for the opportunities it opens up for Eliel. It does mean we will lose Eliel when he goes to university and it is always with mixed feelings we say goodbye.
Eliel started at LAMB School in 1997 in Grade 3. After Grade 5 he went to a local school to finish his primary education. Last year Eliel worked at the school during the fall semester until he took time off to study for his exams. While waiting for his results Eliel has been helping out at the school, teaching Science and other subjects.
Please pray with us for Eliel as he pursues God's will for his future.
