By Jonathon, Assistant Teacher at Leading Star

We trust that all is well with both of you. We are grateful that you have been faithful in supporting teachers and students in Putao. We teach these children to upgrade the  life of the people and to educate the younger generation. We are thankful to Asian Children’s Mission for your willingness to serve the Lord through education.

This year we have about 40 students. They are so eager in learning. They learn to depend not on the teachers but themselves and the Lord. Some have never read the Bible until they come to this place.

We believe that teaching the Bible is important as well as teaching secular subjects. So before we start teaching ordinary subjects we read the Bible, and memorize and explain the meaning, then go on to other subjects.

This year the students have had a very difficult experiences. They often had diarrhea and flu and malaria. Students were often sick. We think that lack of nutrition cause some of these sicknesses as they had very little food, due to the famine in Putao area. Therefore we would like to request for medicine assistance such as malaria and vitamins and medicine for stomach. Many of these children are from very remote area, and are not able to bring food or money. We pray for you for God’s blessing upon you for helping such need for the children.May God richly bless you.
