Looking Back at 2010

I will start today by sharing a few snapshots/highlights of the last year.

As you look through the pictures please join me in thanking God for a fruitful year. Thank God for the relationships built and established with teachers, schools, and friends. Join me also in praying for those involved in Christian Education all across West Africa. Pray that as God continues to bring about growth in their lives, each may do their own part in sharing God's love with those in their care.

train the trainers group launched in abuja.
meeting monthly.





I am very excited about the launching of this group! This year, I have become most passionate about developing leaders in Christian Education who can lead and teach others. The group of teachers, principals, and owners of schools represented here are just those type of leaders.



They are passionate about their calling as teachers. They are eager to live out their faith in their schools and classrooms through how they teach and what they teach. They are thirsty for knowledge, and seek to grow in wisdom! Praise God for each of them!
