An important activity is training of Pastors. We offer a two years’ course and it lasts three days per week, and it is free of charge for the students. They are simply too poor to be able to pay even a pittance of the cost themselves. Till now we have educated – or are educating – over 400 Pastors, and the students all come from the concerning area. They speak the native languages – predominantly Kui and Kuvi – and are familiar with the region and the local customs. This is of great importance, for the residents are very detached of strangers.
There are quite some villages where no one is literate, and we started teaching little children elementary education: reading, writing and counting. Currently we do this in quite some villages, and teach over 500 children. Since there are no buildings fit for schooling, we will start a building program for more community centres in 2022.
