Students are looking forward to their futures, they have discovered purpose and want to serve God rather than being swept around by the winds of social media.

Nigeria’s schools are full of talented young people who have no faith in their political leaders, church elders, or parents. They see no point in working hard and studying, and every advantage in cheating and stealing their way to worldly success.

 But when they hear our volunteer teams explain how God sees them and his expectations, their attitudes turn around 360 degrees.

“God awakens them and they give their lives to him. They say they are looking forward to graduating, living well and serving our nation when they graduate,” says international coordinator Tassie Ghata.

“When we revisit schools we find they are continuing to live by Gospel teaching and what they heard from us.”

The Yola volunteer team visited two schools during February and March, speaking with 224 pupils and testing 64 for HIV. Of these 179 students rededicated their lives to Christ and two made a first commitment.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for:

• Students to remain faithful to Christ in their school and home lives, to be supported by their teachers and families
• Teachers at these schools to also be faithful to Christ and to support and encourage pupils in their faith and lifestyles.
