"Big" School Girls.....

Look at these three "Big" secondary school girls ... all ready in their new school uniforms to go to school. They are so excited to be in Secondary school and have no problem with the fact that they have to walk an hour to get there and an hour back again at the end of the day. Its great for Ruth the eldest on the right to have Elizabeth and Alheri join her this year as they all trek together up the road...
Each one of these girls has many stories to tell of how badly they were treated by their families before they came to live with us . They carry the physical and emotional scars on their bodies, as a result of ignorance and superstision, but inwardly they are being renewed each day by their Heavenly Father. They now feel safe and loved and cared for and are thriving...each keen to learn...each with their own struggles...each precious princessess of the King.
Praise God that through our ministry they have a chance to a new life....please keep praying for them they are really precious girls.

Here I am...
I used to visit your blog already in Korea, but not recently. Today I got a comment from Miyung and came here straigh. Myung was here already...^^
Nicky, thank you for your newsletters and updates which has been always challenging us. Nigeria doesn't seem to be far away to me now because I know a Korean missionary who worked there, another English missionary who is working now (it's you) and a Nigerian christian doctor whom I studied and had fellowship together in Liverpool.
This is like a letter rather than a comment^^.
Anyway, please take care~
