The volunteers are now used to the cold weather and start their days very early in the morning.
Some have transport problems and have had to ride on open bakkies to get to school on time but this has not demoralized their high spirits and they are still committed as ever to serving the Lord.
FTN is winning the battle against most organizations which have similar programmes in the school. Most schools prefer FTN volunteers to any other group. First lesson has been taught to all schools and one school has put key words like Future Stick and Sex into Braille so that the visually impaired students can participate.
FTN has been invited to two schools to take part in an academic and abstinence workshop which will be organized to help students focus on their studies and on abstinence.
North Rally Team has done ten rallies which included morning devotions at Police stations, prisons, junior schools and the Brigade.
South Rally Team had their rallies cancelled. We must continue to pray for them to have rallies re-scheduled.
CHALLENGES
- One school had 31 girls drop out because of pregnancy.
- Many schools are faced with the pregnancy issue.
- Counselling with lesbians in the schools.
- There is generally a low regard for marriage. They think it is just a piece of paper.
- Difficult students.
PRAISE BE TO OUR GOD FOR:
- The safe travel of our volunteers, rally teams and facilitators everyday.
- For the devotional guide.
- For students receiving salvation and seriously pledging to abstain and stay committed.
- For schools who have welcomed FTN.
