This week we’re praying for the Grade 7 students at Ipalo Christian School. From Monday until Friday they will be sitting their national exams.

We pray for safety of body, mind and spirit for each student and that they will know God’s deep peace as they walk in trust the path He leads them on.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. – ISAIAH 26:3-4

May God be the rock we all stand on this week.

As we nurture and educate students at Ipalo Christian School, we do so in the knowledge that wisdom comes from God, who alone knows the path ahead of us. His loving guidance can give our students, staff, and families the confidence to face each day with hope.

As a school community, may we continue to trust God's direction in every circumstance.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” PSALM 32:8.

May we follow Him with willing hearts today and every day.

IPALO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL TURNS INTO A POLLING STATION!

Last Friday, Ipalo Christian School was transformed into a polling station as students and staff cast their votes for the new prefect body that will fully take on their roles in 2027!

Candidates were nominated from Grades 5 to 11, while the electorate comprised all members of staff and learners from Grades 4 to 12.

To promote Civic Education and transparency, the school adopted the national voting procedure — complete with ballot boxes and polling agents to guide and monitor the entire process.

Prior to voting day, all nominated candidates were also given an opportunity to campaign and share their manifestos with the school.
The results will be announced soon during assembly.

Every January a new class of students begins their school journey at Ipalo Christian School. These are our youngest students starting in the Reception class. This first experience of school is made possible by our supportive student sponsors.

Sponsors like Cathy from Australia who was fortunate to visit Ipalo in July. Just like our Reception students, Cathy was wide-eyed as she encountered life at Ipalo for the first time.

“I joined the mission trip to meet my sponsored children in person, to see ICS in action, and help in practical ways. I was so inspired by the way the children came to school every morning and were reading silently in their classrooms by 7:20am. They were enthusiastic, well mannered, and thankful for the opportunity to learn. Many aspired to be doctors, lawyers, engineers and other important contributors to society in Zambia.” - Cathy

Cathy was not only able to share her skills, working with the teachers, students and on many practical projects at the ICS, but it also helped her value the opportunities that life has given her. “The trip has made me more appreciative for what I have been given in life and given me a desire to continue helping others in meaningful ways.”

If like Cathy, you are ready to be part of journeying with the next generation of Ipalo students, join us as a student sponsor. By sponsoring a student, you will make it possible for a child to access a quality academic, values-based education, a nourishing daily meal, school uniforms, books and other essentials.

Together, let’s raise up the Ipalo Christian School community in prayer. May it be a place where love, respect, and encouragement grow each day. We pray that students, staff, and families would show kindness to one another, value each person's unique gifts, and work together in unity and harmony. May every member of the school community feel welcomed, supported, and valued.

"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" – Psalm 133:1

May God's peace be evident in the lives of everyone at Ipalo, so that hope can continue to grow in lives transformed by education.
