…Christy Sopcisak writes about the 14 Christian schools that she helps in Togo, West Africa.  “But one in particular stands out. During the first week of school, a new student showed up and said she wanted to enroll.  She hadn’t been in school for two years, but that didn’t seem to deter her from wanting to finish her education.  Although she did this behind her father’s back, he eventually allowed her to continue.  The year proved to be a struggle as her parents went through a difficult time.  She hardly had money to pay for food and she couldn’t see the blackboard from the front row.  Teachers and the directors shared Christ’s love with her and they helped pay for the essentials that enabled her to keep learning.  The battle through these obstacles paid off as she successfully passed and will go on to high school!  Her parents are ecstatic and have realized God’s guidance through it all.  The family is attending church together and everyone has noticed a difference in their lives!”  (Photo of Christy with younger students.)
