Building Day 156

In January work started on a new building next to the current school. The plan is to have enough space for the school and a large auditorium for all of LAMB to use. The auditorium is designed to seat almost 300 people. Under the roof, we want an archive for hospital and finance documents which we are required to store for quite a few years. This will also serve to keep the floors below cooler.

The work is funded by generous donations from individuals in several countries. These gifts, as well as those from The Good Samaritan Society, USA, South West Baptist Church, Christchurch, New Zealand, Hilfe für Brüder International, Germany and Risskov Genbrug, Denmark have made it possible to start work on the building.  However, due to an increase in the cost of construction (or poor planning on our part?) and the devaluation of the Euro, we now either have to redo our plans or raise further funds.

We are thankful to those who contributed through the organizations listed above. If you would like to contribute, you can do so by praying or by sending funds to WMPL. (Select Project, then 'Bangladesh - LAMB Hospital (School)' and write 'Construction' in the 'Additional Information' section under 'Add a Note' .)



We always and above all value your prayers.  Please pray that what we do and what we build will bring positive change in the lives of the poorest of the poor, especially women and children in north-west Bangladesh.

Impact and Numbers

It is impossible to say what difference we are making in the world, but with the publication of a new brochure it is encouraging to see some evidence that it matters that we are here. You can find more information about us at the LAMB website.
If you wonder why you should consider working as a teacher at LAMB School, please consider the fact that the school is one aspect of ensuring that services are provided to more than five million people - that is as many as the whole population of Denmark.
Please pray about and consider the opportunity in various parts of the organization for development, medical, managerial and educational staff needs.
At the school our need is for teacher who can teach English across the range of grades from age 4 to 16 and in the upper grades teachers for History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

School Start 2014-15

It is a great blessing to be able to hear the rain on the roof and anticipate the answer of many people's prayers for water to the fields. It is equally good to be able to anticipate the arrival of old and new students back at LAMB School.
When we start today, Wednesday, 6 August there are 142 children enrolled in our school. While a few will be late, we are anticipating a very full house. Just as the rain comes with promise of a harvest in the future, so the preparations of both school staff and many others at LAMB bear promise of a harvest in our children.
It is God who gives growth, pray that he will bless our efforts.
We give out a newsletter (no photos) that can also be found here. We hope to make our monthly newsletter available for reference on the right.

Gifts of children

Praise God it is rainy season and time for a break, for vexing philosophical about the school and for marking the end of a school year with celebrations of achievements and victories in learning: there is much to rejoice about.
