WMCLB is happy to announce that our FOCUS Project for 2024-25 is to provide funds for a new school which has been started in Chad, Africa. The name of the school is Gethsemane de N’Djamena-Bousso (GDNB) and it is located in N’Djamena-Bousso, a small town between Bousso and
Doh. This is a town of about 5,000 people, located just on the north banks of the Chari river, approximately 250 miles south and east of the capital city of N’Djamena. This is a sketch of the property that has been secured on the outskirts of the town. The first thing that is needed is a permanent security fence about 1500 feet in total length that will surround the school/classrooms, the teacher housing, the well, and the eventual orchard. It will have a short brick wall, on top of which will be chain link fence. This fence and the housing for 3 teachers and their families are first on the agenda and to help get them started, WMCLB has budgeted a $14,500 gift for these projects. A well and water tower will also need to be installed and classrooms built. Initially they will likely be thatch as were the classrooms that were hastily constructed last year behind the home of a partner missionary to make it possible for classes to begin (as shown in these pictures) but the goal will be permanent structures. Please pray that all those involved in GDNB will be able to share not only earthly knowledge but, more importantly, the knowledge of the one True God. |
