Irene took the Bible knowledge prize after completing two years of intensive study of selected texts from the Old Testament, Luke and Acts. Out of the six students I have been teaching, sadly one has dropped out just before her 'O' levels. Another needs a miracle to get him through the exams. The other four might be able to write ten essays in English during the two times two and a half hour exams, but if there's a word they haven't come across, or the meaning of the question is not clear, all the knowledge and understanding they have gained could remain unseen. Please remember all the Form Four students during the next three weeks; one week of last minute revision, and two of exams from 8th October.
Meanwhile Kevin and myself have been preparing for our epic journey South by train and then North by ship. I have been collecting things in Tanzania since 1983 when I started my checkered career here. It is exciting and daunting to be clearing up, giving lots away, trying to sell the car, and spending time with friends who we may not see again. We value your prayers for all of this, and the journey ahead.
