Wondering about the women?

Every day, except on Thursday (that’s when all those kids come to Bible-club) women come for literacy class. In the afternoon. Remember…the teachers teach pre-school every morning. 

Imagine, as a teacher, you get to teach pre-schoolers the ABC in the morning ...and their mothers, the same thing in the afternoon! Guess who learn quickest??

All these women never had the privilege to go to school when they were kids. Nyenyezi Ministry provides literacy class to empower these lovely ladies in different areas of their lives. After these five years of women education…hundreds of women have learned how to read and write and received their own Bible! Besides that, they have learned other skills as well!

What does a literacy class look like? Well…in Africa everything begins with a song…and an other one….and an other one.

Also a Bible lesson is given by one of the teachers. Continuing with reading and writing practice.

Even entering the classroom is done singing...

Also…life skills are being taught. For example soap making. The ladies were so happy to show me their home made soap! Many of them also learned how to sew nice shopping and handbags, how to weave doormats, how to prepare nutritious food….etc

During my visit I was privileged to share a message from John 4. How Jesus knows our life, how He visits us and offers us His Living Water so that we will never thirst again.

Receiving their gifts....singing of course!

A women stands up and shares how blessed she is with everything she has learned about Jesus, so far, through the ministry of Nyenyezi in her community. “My whole family is being blessed” and then….she decided to bless me on behalf of the women group. I was speechless….being showered with home made products!

Pray with me for these sisters.
