April began with the festive opening of a preschool in the village of Asas, at the Promise Land Church. As we’ve mentioned before, our vision for the near future is for every one of our daughter churches to have both an adult school and a preschool. In 2025, thanks to your support, we were able to open preschools in the villages of Asas, Obura, and Mamarai. In the photo, you can see our preschoolers in Asas and their classroom — inside and out.

The Lord used a team from the First Ukrainian Baptist Church of Seattle and the Korean Community in Texas to fully fund the construction of the church building and preschool in the village of Obura. For the village of Asas, no sponsors could be found, but the local residents got involved and did their best to build classrooms using available materials — bamboo and a thatched roof. They are currently working on constructing an additional classroom because the existing ones can’t accommodate all the children.
If the Lord is stirring your heart to help with this project, please let us know. The preschool is a tremendous blessing for the village!
