Every December/January our ELI Children’s Homes Directors, parents and the ELI Kenya leadership team begin looking for opportunities (openings) at high schools for our Form 1 (Freshman) students. Once the grade eight exam results come out in December there are immediately visits to schools and then interviews for positions. This past January was no exception. As an ELI family we rejoiced when each of our Form 1 students were accepted and settled into new schools.

Yesterday I had the privilege of joining one of our parent’s at the Children’s Home here in Ilula on a "surprise" visit to two secondary schools where our high school students are attending. As I sat and talked with the Head Teacher of one of these schools yesterday I was overwhelmed with thanksgiving. I sensed God’s spirit at this school which has over 400 secondary school girls who come from all over Kenya. My heart is full and encouraged and once again overwhelmed by God’s incredible provision!

Please pray for our high school students as they are away at their various schools. Continue to pray for quick resolution to the teacher’s strike that is taking place throughout Kenya right now. We have some of our students that are still home and not back in school. We are asking God for miracles!
