103 children and youth workers were trained this month empowering the leaders with skills on reaching, equipping and discipling youths with knowledge pertaining to godliness and right living in communities where violence and crime have taken a toll and churches have been less effective to reaching children and youth with the Gospel.

Three discipleship groups have been established in 3 of the 8 schools reached. A total of 313 pupils and high school students are being discipled through these programs.

Challenges
As we engage in these training programs, we are faced with a number of challenges among which include
• The Budget: our scope of reach and impact has for far been limited by our monthly and annual budgets. The current budget has greatly affect our evangelistic, church planter, children ministry, trainings, outreach and discipleship programs. Our prayer has been and still is for the Lord to enables us receive adequate funding.
• Christian Literature: this has still been a great challenge in as far as our ministry programs are concerned. We have and are in constant need of Bibles/ study bibles, Story of Jesus (SOJ) booklets, Manga Messiah booklets, leadership books for the leaders, tracts and booklets for evangelism.
• Mobility: we have been in a constant need of a ministry car for mobility especially up country where the terrains are rough. This has been a great hindrance.
• Training Centre: we are in need of a training facility where we can periodically train the leaders and commission them to affect their communities.
