Bible Club of Mugwathi Primary School
Dani_in_Kenia, 15:01h
Mugwathi is next to Bavuni. Both primary schools are next to each other and belong to the devision of Dundori.
Mugwathi Primary School is over 30 years old. The school includes a nursery with 47 children in three classes and a primary school with 635 pupils in 16 classes and 19 teachers.

A few years ago Peter and Joseph came several times for a Bible Club. But they have stopped to come a long time ago. Now there is a new head teacher and there were many changes in the school.
The new head teachers asked me to start a new Bible Club and he gave me two teachers for assistance.
All four of us had a meeting and be spke abour the problems the children at Mugwathi are facing.
Mugwathi is a rural area. Most of the people are famers and the family is very important for them. But there are many single mothers who have a lot of problems to care for the family. The father is missing and that is a great challenge for the families. Especially for the teenage boys it is a great problem because they take over the responsibility for the children by being still children.

We agreed that in the Bible Club we will start to speak about „God – my father“, because this theme is a challenge for many of them.
The teachers wanted to separated the students in three groups: One teacher is now making a Bible Club for Standard 4 and 5, another teacher for Standard 6 and I am making a Bible Club for the 162 pupils for Standard 7 and 8.

The two teachers ask me for assistance. Therefore I am preparing for them material for teaching the children.
We started to teach the 434 children from the 23rd of June 2015 and every Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. The two teacher are meeting with the students in a classroom and we are sitting outside on a grass in front of the school.
The students know a lot about the Bible but only a few know that God wants to have a personal relationship with him. By using the Wordless Book and other materials I try to explain them again and again that God wants to be our father.
Please pray for the pupils for this school who are growing up without a father. Pray that they may see that God will care for them always and that he loves them a lot. Thank you.
Also in 2016 I will teach the Bible-Club at Mugwathi Primary School. 79 boys and 83 girls are attending the Club from Standard 7 and 8.
