(mah-LONG) – Many Malong children do not have the opportunity to attend school. A member of one village decided to begin a preschool to provide basic phonics and math. This can enable those who can go on to elementary school a better foundation so they can do well. The workers living in the Malong community provided pencils, paper tablets, crayons, and a lunch bag so the children would be excited to go to school. One family said it was the first time that each child had their own lunch bag because they couldn’t afford them. As these children sit at the tables each day learning letters and numbers, pray that they will see how much they are loved by God. Pray that the stories they hear during value lessons will capture their hearts and they will go home and repeat the stories. Pray that as they eat their lunch from their new bag that they discover how God provides and meets their needs. Continue to pray for the community workers in the Malong villages as they visit mothers and share the message of the one true God.
