đź‘‹Message from the Principal
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
This week marks the end of the first quarter for our 1st through 8th grade classrooms. We are excited to be able to have the opportunity to have our upcoming parent teacher conferences at the end of the month to give further information about what we are doing in the classroom and areas of support we are working towards.
Each year, I get excited for the opportunity that comes through the parent-teacher conferences. The main reason is the time spent with focus on the student in the area we are working on and the areas in which they are excelling. We have this time to keep all items in perspective of the love that we share of Christ-crucified. The information we teach stems from the knowledge and joy of our Lord and Savior. This time of reflection on the students is focused on them as brothers and sisters in the faith and the support the teachers, parents, and fellow classmates can show them.
Through our words and actions, may we continue to praise our Lord each and every day!
In Christ,
Jace Fellers, Principal

This year, we are supporting the mission work being done in Africa.
In 2005, two Kenyan brothers, Pastor Francis Ranogwa and Pastor Kefa Kadenge, found themselves caring for over a dozen orphaned children in their homes. They had inherited a small, rural farm near Kisumu and Lake Victoria where they had been raised. God gave them both the idea of moving the orphanage to their larger property and using the farm to build a children’s home for the many orphans in the community. Thus a dream was born and began to take root.
The orphanage was named Shangilia Children’s Home and began with the two small houses on the farm and the orphans who had been living with Pastor Francis and Pastor Kefa. Over the years, Shangilia has embraced the community through a widow’s program, a clinic, a kindergarten, support for the local schools, and spreading the good news of Christ’s love.
As the ministry grew, Love for Kenya was created to support the many things God is doing in Kenya and to mobilize people with a heart for Kenya and a desire to partner with our Kenyan friends.
Love for Kenya [LFK] has raised the funds necessary to build a new Manager's Home and Ministry Center at Shangilia. Construction will hopefully start in late August and should be completed by January 2027. The two-story building will include a home for Shangilia's manager on the second floor with office space and a computer lab for the children on the main floor. Computers have already been donated, but LFK will need to raise money for the desks, chairs and other equipment needed for the lab. Based on a ballpark estimate, the cost of a computer station with a desk, chair and associated equipment should be around $200 each, with a goal of having a minimum of 10 stations. We are aiming to support the work of the center in sharing the Good News with the next generation of students in that region. Offerings to date total $513.05
