School starts again in Bolgatanga, Ghana:
Many children in Africa do not attend school, not because they dont want to but because they cant afford to attend. Below is a picture of just a few of the many who turned up at the FILA school who cannot afford to go to school. Mission International is now sponsoring children in Ghana (and other countries) to go to school. If you would like to sponsor a child please visit the child sponsorship pages of our Global Sponsor site.
Construction well under way in Olooltoto:
By the end of the Kenya team's time in Narok this summer (July 2010) some of the work started had not been completed due to lack of time and late delivery of materials, however we now have some photos of work continuing and approaching completion.
Pastor Tom Opiyo proudly stands by the sign to the new church building in Olooltoto/Oloontoto (pronounced differently by various groups). It is hoped that this building will double as a nursery/school as well. For those concerned by the use of tall fences and barbed wire, this is a village deep in to the Maasai Mara in which wild animals like elephant, zebra and lion roam. As the team were constructing the nearby water tanks a herd of 60 zebra passed looking for safe pasture.

Kabanda's father in road accident:
The father of Nelson Kabanda whose early life story is recoded in a book by Mary Weeks-Millard called Kabanda's story has been involved in a road accident. He was travelling to work in Mukono town from his village on his motor bike when he was struck from behind by a truck which pushed him in to a stationary taxi in front of him on the road. Kabanda's dad has received surgery to a badly broken leg and is also being treated for severe blood loss as well as other cuts and bruises. We pray for the family at this time that God will be close to them in their time of need.
