Work has begun on Friends & Neighbors New International High School, just a few miles down the road from Peace Village! The fence is going up! Classroom foundations have been set, and walls are going up! The storage shed for cement, lumber, nails, etc. is built and secured, below!
This incredible opportunity to build a secondary school came from the local leaders of the area - they ASKED if we could build a secondary school. The school will be open to Fulani children, Yoruba children, and children of ALL TRIBES!
This picture below sums it up: cooperation between the Fulani Chief and the Yoruba Chief = PEACE!
There is a little nursery school RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from our high school, and soon those children will attend our school! The children attending our school in Peace Village will also come to this secondary school!
As the walls and roof go up, please be praying for our workers, for their safety, and for an opportunity to tell them about Jesus! Bless them, Lord!
This school requires monthly support from individuals and churches! If your church might like to join us in supporting this new school, please email us HERE! :) Potential ongoing expenses are below, to total almost $700/month!
$6,000 - yearly cost for 12 teachers’ salaries
$1,000 - yearly cost for utilities for the school
$1,000 - yearly cost for security for the school
One huge blessing that is not usually provided would be $2,000 - yearly cost of books, paper, and writing tools. Another possible blessing could include $10,000 - for 2 buses, as children often walk a LONG way through the bush to school
WE PRAISE GOD FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY!

How did you hear about Schools For Africa? Please share your story!
We have been attending the Free Methodist General Conference for many years and first learned about Phyllis there. When we heard about her kidnapping, we prayed for her. When she wrote her book we read it. When she showed her movie at the last general conference, we watched it with her. We're amazed at her story and how the light of Jesus shines so brightly through her. We're happy to offer her our monthly financial support and prayers. Russell and Elizabeth
