Dear friends and family,
Greetings from the Rafiki Village in Tanzania. I am amazed again, at how quickly the year goes by. We continue to have healthy children and eager learners at our Village. The children going out to secondary school are eager to return to the Rafiki campus, however, we are still negotiating with our registration process. We continue to pray that we will have a registered secondary school by July 8, 2019. We continue to ask God for wisdom and endurance during this process.

The Teacher’s Training Program continues to do well and we are praying for wisdom to push forward for the registration of that Program. In the meantime we continue to train students in good teaching techniques for classical education. The students continue to work hard at their studies.
Our school term ended with a four-week break. Most of our resident children were able to go off the campus to be with relatives during two weeks of the four-week break. One of our secondary students was privileged to travel about two days south of our Village to participate in a regional basketball tournament. As she returned, seven (five resident girls) of our primary girls were chosen to play at the same area for girls soccer. Three of our secondary students and one primary student traveled to Dar es Salaam to a tennis tournament. We are so thankful that these students are provided the opportunities of traveling with their sport. All of the students played well and represented Rafiki in a good way with their behavior as well as their playing.

This has been an unusual spring season in our area. Our rains were six weeks late and shortly after they began, it became unseasonably cool. We hear that many of you are also experiencing unusual weather this year. We are praying here for the farmers who were able to re-plant their maize crop because the rain has not yet been enough for good growth. I must say we are enjoying the cool mornings and evenings.
We continue to love what we do and strive to do it with purpose and wisdom. We need guidance and wisdom as we continue to push through our registration processes, we need guidance and wisdom to raise these sixty children as God would have us to do it, and we need wisdom as we travel the roads here. We covet your prayers and are so grateful that God allows us the health to continue to work here in this beautiful place. Thank you to all those who contribute financially for us to continue this work. You are all dear to our hearts.
PRAISE THE LORD! Kent received his work permit for an additional two years to stay in Tanzania!
