We recently learned of a sobering report given by one of the Kiswa Primary teachers. According to this teacher, 60% of the pupils are thieves and involved in immorality, especially pornography. Some are already fathers or mothers. Gangs are active despite the school’s attempt to break them up through corporal punishment. This report would be bad enough coming from a Secondary (High) School, but this is the elementary level.
Against this
bleak summary of pupils’ behavior, the Church of the Resurrection shared the
following report after teaching two lessons of Honesty to the three classes of
P4 (grade 4):
- A classroom teacher urged one of the volunteer teacher, “please keep coming.”
- A pupil wrote on the Activity Sheet: “I have been stealing, I will not anymore…”
- Another classroom teacher reported that two of her pupils returned lost coins to her—almost unheard of before!
- A P7 (grade 7) pupil begged a volunteer values teacher, “Can you come to us? We need you”
The church also started
teaching the Honesty Module in their own Children’s Church and to the 124
pupils in their outreach school. A parent came from Children’s Church and
exclaimed “we also need to be taught values, not just the children.”
All
of these testimonies are coming after only one or two lessons! Although the
darkness is real, God’s Word and His Spirit-filled children are a light that cannot
be hidden. Continue to pray with us that more will be impacted as the remaining
4 lessons are taught. Lesson six is the Gospel Presentation—pray that many will
turn to the Light of the World and find eternal transformation in Him.
What a joy to hear how brightly the Light is shining in the darkness.
