I know you will all appreciate the ministry of John and Evelyn Barasa from Uganda to these children. It is amazing to me that they are responding so well to the Grow or Die book. However, this book had its beginnings at our church with 8^th grade children back in the early 1990s.

Larry and Carol

PSE, I THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS. HE HAS SEEN US THROUGH WITH CHILDREN'S SEMINAR ON THURSDAY.

I DID NOT SEND THIS REPORT ON SATURDAY BECAUSE OF POWER BREAKAGE FOR THREE DAYS.

IN THE MONTH OF OCTOMBER, AM PLANNING TO GRADUATE THE PHASE ONE STUDENTS OF ISOB IN GROW OR DIE DISCIPLESHIP AT BUTEMA BAPTIST CHURCH.

I HAVE MANY OF THEM, BUT, I HAVE DIVIDED THEM INTO PHASES.

I WILL GIVE DETAILS WHEN AM ABOUT TO DO IT.

GOD BLESS U ALL.

JOHN AND EVELYN BARASA.

ATTACHMENT FOR CHILDREN'S SEMINAR

THIS IS THE CHILDREN'S SEMINAR ON ISOB TRAINING MOJARLY ON DISCIPLESHIP FROM GROW OR DIE BOOK.

THE CHILDREN WERE IN THE MORNING DEVOTION LED BY ONE OF THE YOUTH WHO HAS GONE THROUGH THE GROW OR DIE DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING IN THE FIRST REPORT I SET YOU.

HE IS CALLED HASSAN KITONE WHO CHANDED FROM ISLAM AND ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR OF HIS LIFE.

WE THOUGHT IT WISE, BEFORE THE SEMINAR BEGINS TO CALL ONE OF THE OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF CHILDREN'S WELFARE, TO TEACH THEM ON ROAD SAFETY AND CHILD PROTECTION, SINCE THEY COULD WALK FROM THEIR HOMES AND IT INVOLVES CROSSING THE ROAD FROM DISTANT PLACES, BECAUSE WE ARE ON THE HIGH WAY.

THE OFFICER IN CHARGE WAS WELL ELLABORATE THAT CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND

MORE TOO, THIS OFFICER IS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN. HE WAS HAPPY WITH THIS PROGRAM OF DISCIPLING CHILDREN WHILE THEY ARE STILL YOUNG.

HE APPRECIATED THE SUPPORT YOU SENT US TO MANAGE THIS SEMINAR RUN. HE ENCOURAGED CHILDREN TO LOVE GOD, RESPECT THEIR PARENTS, AND HELP THE NEEDY SO THAT THEY CAN BE BLESSED BY GOD.

THIS IS MRS SARAH, TEACHING CHILDREN OF AGE, 6 YEARS HOW TO BE GOOD FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, USING GROW OR DIE BOOK. SHE IS AMONG THE TEN PEOPLE WHO WENT THROUGH TRAINAR OF TRAINEES SEMINAR ON HOW TO LED CHILDREN TO JESUS.

THIS IS MR JOEL. TEACHING CHILDREN JUST LIKE SARAH ABOVE. HE WENT THROUGH THE TRAINNING.

THIS WAS MORNING SESSION. I HANDLED AGE GROUP OF 7 to 8 YEARS. THIS CHILDRREN PICKED INTEREST AND LOVED TO HEAR ABOUT GOD'S LOVE FROM THIS BOOK

THESE RAISING UP THEIR HANDS, ACCEPTED TO GIVE IN THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST TO BE THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

THIS IS THE AGE GRADE OF 12 to 14 YEARS. THIS WAS AFTERNOON SESSION. HERE, WE WERE MAKING A COMMITMENT TO READ, LEARN, AND FOLOW CHRIST AFTER THIS SEMINAR ON THE SECOND DAY.

HERE I WAS EXPLAINING AND READING FOR THEM ONE POSHON OF THE SCRIPTURE EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 52:12.

I TOLD THEM THAT GOD WILL BE THEIR GUARD AND DEFENDER.WHEREVER THEY WILL GO. SO LONG AS THEY ARE HIDEN IN CHRIST.

THIS WAS THE LAST DAY OF THE SEMINAR. WE BOUGHT THREE CAKES AS OF BIRTH DAY CEREBRATIONS. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO CALL THEIR ATTENTION AND CONCERTRATE TO LEARN.

THIS WAS MR SAMUEL AND MADAM JULIET, THEY TOO WENT THROUGH THE GROW OR DIE TRAINNING AND RECEIVED THE BOOKS

HERE, THEY WERE CUTTING THE CAKE TO WIDE UP THE GROW OR DIE CHILDREN'S SEMINAR.
