5,000 MORE children educated by 2025!?
IS THIS AN IMPOSSIBLE GOAL? APPARENTLY NOT!
The Lord has blessed our plans to continue to build and grow Schools For Arica in Nigeria, and we have BIG PLANS for the future! The Lord is directing Missionary Phyllis Sortor and Schools For Africa to reach towards educating 5,000 MORE children by 2025! How are we going to do that? Only through the Lord. We have funding and plans to grow by at least 4 schools this year. We are looking into further partnerships with the nomadic schools, which comes with an INCREDIBLE opportunity for evangelism! The Fulani people and others will see Jesus as we continue to grow in Nigeria! WOOP WOOP!
We were astonished to see the Lord move this month, when funds came in for four schools ALL IN ONE WEEK! Ask and you shall receive?? Wow!
It is so exciting to watch the Lord move!
Our current need is increased monthly giving for teacher/nurse salaries. Moving forward, and as our ministry grows, that need will continue to increase. We often receive large gifts, along with monthly giving, and that DOES cover our monthly operating budget, but we would love to see our growing monthly salary expenses COMPLETELY covered by monthly givers, so that we KNOW that we can afford to keep growing.
We are praying about how the Lord would further increase our monthly donor base, and would love it if you would join us in praying about that.
From Phyllis:
"UNESCO recently reported that there are 20 MILLION out-of-school children in Nigeria. We, in Schools for Africa, have the goal of TRIPLING the number of strong Christian schools we are managing in Nigeria."
We're trusting God and determined, with His help, to use everything we have to educate as many children as we can, to lift high the wonderful Name of Jesus and bring HIS peace to Nigeria!
Could YOU help support the teacher's salaries, school maintenance, and book fees?
It costs $42/month to pay a teacher/nurse salary.

UPDATE FROM PHYLLIS - ALL IS WELL!
Hi friends,
I'm in Nigeria, in -------- for a few more days, when I fly to visit a school. Yesterday and today, I met with Pastor Joseph of City of Refuge, Supt. John Raji and Josephine, and Lawal, making plans on how we're going to build three schools, two clinics and a church, all in the next three months! Tomorrow I go to -------- to talk with the Chief about management of a new healthcare clinic and school there.
That's it so far! All is well. Thank you so much for keeping us in their prayers!
