BEGINNING OF CLASSES

On the 10th we received most of the students we expected, and after a few of them were sent home during registration, we are now with 44 students in our campus: 30 at the Discipleship School (4 of them are women) and 14 at the Vocational Center (full class).
Most of them come from Afrika Wa Yesu churches, and it is exciting to see how the investment the ambassadors have done in their lives truly makes a huge difference even on the first days of school.
With all the excitement of their arrival and registration came quite a few very unusual situations that we had to deal with, one by one. Two students who were told by a former student that they didn’t need to bring their clothes because the school had EVERYTHING! (Where did he get that from? – He had to go back to pick their clothes, since it was his fault!) A lady student who wanted money to buy milk for her three month baby, who she would leave home the whole day while she’d be here in school and go back to only in the evenings! (Oh, no, please go back, take care of you kid, come back in the future! ) And so on... I was even thinking about writing a book with all the situations we are faced with during registration for a Bible School in Mozambique. I’m sure we would collect many, many stories.
