Meet The Students!

RICHARD is a sweet and energetic boy. Both Richard and his brother, Willie, are extremely helpful, always looking to assist others. Richard's passion is worship and his high, loud singing voice can be heard above all the other boys during our praise and worship times. He loves to worship, sing praises and listen to Bible stories. He also enjoys playing soccer and doing work projects around the home. He will often follow an adult around waiting for a new "project." Both Richard and his brother are well loved by the other boys and staff. Please pray that Richard would grow in his young faith to become a Godly and devoted young man.


MARCKENDY is the oldest son of Navi, the head nanny at the MDL girls home. Ever since MarcKendy's father died, he has become "the man of the house" and carefully watches out for his little brother Brice. He has endured a difficult life before coming to the home as his unemployed mother tried for years to care for him and his brother. He loves his new home and all his new "brothers" and hopes to one day have a job and support his mother so she no longer has to work. MarcKendy enjoys Bible studies and the home and playing soccer. He struggles with school but tries very hard to do his best. Pray for him as he seeks to learn more about Jesus and grow in his young faith.

OLINE was one of the neighborhood children that Child Hope International sent to school through the education program. When we heard her mother was ill, we sought medical care and eventually hospitalization to help her. Unfortunately, Oline's mother died in the hospital leaving Oline alone. There were no other relatives available to care for her so she joined the girl's home. Since moving in, she has done remarkably well. She is a happy young girl and is adjusting well to her new home. All of the girls welcomed her in, and she has a lot of new best friends. Please pray for Oline that she would grow in her new faith and become a strong woman of God.

These are the three kiddos I will be doing academic intervention with for the seven weeks. They are all about 11 years old and at about a 2nd grade level. Please pray for them, that their faith and love for God would continue to grow, and they'd be able to improve in their academics. Also, that God would give me wisdom and discernment when working with them.
