Pastor John writes: "...their (the new
orphans') stories are so bad. Three cases lost their parents
during the political unrest we had. Their parents were killed
early this year. I knew of it...but wanted to be sure that
none of the remaining relatives were willing to help. Another
case is of her single mother who passed away in May when giving
birth. We buried her."

Christine's Story
Christine has been at Bright Star for the last
year and is in Form 3 (11th grade). Christine lost both her
parents by the time she was 10 years old, but she was taken in by a "well wisher", as Pastor John explains. On Sunday, Pastor found her crying and
asked her why she was crying. She
told him that she needed his prayers because the family she had been
staying with was no longer able to pay her secondary school fees nor
feed her. The man had lost his job and the family was going
back to the village upcountry. She was scared that she
may not be able to continue with her education. Pastor invited
her to live in the dorm and she eagerly accepted the invitation!
Now she needs a sponsor. Can you help?
