The only way to bring hope and affect change in the whole nation is to teach people about Jesus. We approach that goal in many different ways. One is to raise up a new generation that will become godly influencers. There is also a need to educate pastors. Those who are responsible for equipping the Church for the work of the ministry. Starting at each end of the spectrum became our hearts desire. Through our Primary School, children are growing up with an excellent education and a strong relationship with Jesus.
