My Brothers and Sister
Happy New Year 2026
My email is late, I have had the busiest Christmas with lots of family and a friend all visiting from Queensland.
Last year 2025/ a great year.
As I look back, I’m so grateful for all of you my friends, for your continuous giving. I’m thankful to Our Faithful Almighty God who has surprised me through your generosity.
My pray that our hearts are filled with gratefulness for the many blessings in our lives. That we brim, over with thanks to God for all that He has given us. Especially all the success we together have achieved for our beloved Bezallel school children. May we continue to be a source of hope and blessings. And may we experience ever-greater blessings.
I’m in awe, last year we achieved a huge amount. It truly was our greatest year of achievements by far. Never had we done as much in previous years. Our support really made a difference in big changes and improvements.
See pictures below
We paid the school fees of 50 children. (Education of the poorest children is our goal, many can’t attend school became of fees)
We have many children waiting for sponsors. If you want to sponsor a child please contact me at [email protected]. $35 a month. Just forgo 6 coffees a month.
We honoured the teachers with new cups, bowls, plates and thermos for hot water. ( they were delighted).
At Easter we gave the teachers a gift pack of rice, sugar, salt and soap.
We continued to give the whole school and teachers breakfast.
Painted outside fence of the school and planted a garden
Painted outside and roof of the “baby classroom” 3 year olds.( really needed)
Painted and fixed play area and swings.
Painted outside and inside of the bursars office, sickbay and repaired and painted the roof.
The biggest of all is we repaired four classrooms.neede TLC.
We supported the family of the man who died.
I believe we gave the school the biggest and best Christmas lunch ever.
Moving forward with transferring the responsibility of finances to Global Development Group, giving you tax deductions.
Thanks be to God, all the Glory belongs to God.
What’s ahead for 2026.
My brothers and sisters we do not fear bad news. Can I share some thoughts I have received in prayer. My message to myself. “I strongly felt to make this year a year of thanksgiving, gratefulness and giving God my very best in every way. A year in which I’m very expectant, more faith, more prayer, more word.” We don’t know what’s ahead but one thing we know, Our Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit walks beside us. Studying Psalm 144 “Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,
Who trains my hands for war
And my fingers for battle;”
Can I share what God is saying to me “I’m not saving you from battles, I’m preparing you to win them. Every battle, every hard moment every pressure every delay none of this is wasted it’s all training. God is the one who equips us. I’m not just protecting you from battles, I’m preparing you to win them. God is preparing us for victory not survival. We must be spiritually wake and alert and aligned with God’s will (direction).
Prayer: is our powerful weapon. I would humbly ask you for prayer, as I look to the future. With your help we can achieve more for Bezallel School Children.
I will make Friday a day of prayer for all your needs.
I will be sharing more in my plans for progress in 2026.
Humbly in Christ Jesus
A year of gratitude, thankfulness and giving 2026.
