Last Sunday we welcomed some visitors, both young and old, to Kisima. These were family members of our Form Fours, a few former students, and friends from a local church, who all joined us to wish the students well in their national exams.

In our morning service, the sermon reminded us that if we choose to walk with God we will know His presence giving us peace, whether in the exam room or elsewhere. There were also songs from each of the classes and a special time of prayer for the candidates.

After lunch, which included everyone’s favourite chapatis, we gathered in the hall again. Students, staff and family members shared their advice and encouragement, and cards were given to the Form Fours. For many, the highlight was the two cakes that were ushered in with a song from a student’s grandmother and then shared with everyone who was present.
