Off to College!

Dear Praying Saints and Supporters,

This last week was a first for the Good Samaritan Baptist Ministries and the Good Samaritan Children's Home. Four of our young people have gone to college! We were very excited in that these four did well enough in their MSCE exams, (High School exit certificates), attitudes while at Good Samaritan, and their desire to serve God to go forward for higher education.

The four are:

Joseph Edson (in the Good Samaritan green shirt)

Elizabeth Magombo (the one with long hair-Ha!)

Jason James

Moses Nyenga-the tall boy standing next to his father, Vice-President of Good Samaritan Malawi, Andrew Nyenga

Joseph and Elizabeth have gone to DAPP college to study Sociology. This is a two year course that when completed will allow them to work to interface government and non-government organizations with the public.

Jason and Moses have gone to the African Bible College in Zambia to go through their two year course in Pastoral Studies. At the end of two years they will come back and work within the Good Samaritan organization.

We stepped out in faith, trusting that God is going to provide the necessary funds for these young people to go to college. A Godly evangelist has provided the tuition for Jason and Moses, but we are still lacking additional funds for travel, personal care, and future necessities. We had limited funds for Joseph and Elizabeth, but God has made it possible for us to not have to pay their entire school fees at once. We were able to pay enough for the first 3 month term, and now are trusting God to provide the rest. They too need additional funds for personal care, travel and other necessities.

These four young kids were and are a blessing to Good Samaritan! It is our privilege to pray for them, encourage them, and see God work in their lives.

Please pray about possibly helping one or more of these kids. Even a onetime gift would be a wonderful blessing to them!

By His Grace & Mercy,

John Fullford
