Saturday 7th February

Quiet your heart and mind. Breathe deeply and exhale slowly. Imagine going to a high place with Jesus. Let the excitement grow in you as you follow Him and wait for what He wants to show you.

“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts."

Psalm 96:8

Ponder: What experiences in your life have filled your heart with amazement at God’s greatness?

Scripture

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

First, imagine Jesus is focusing on you, looking you right in the eye, and holding out a gift for you. Hear Him pray this over you. Read the blessing again slowly. What do you notice?

FATEB’s 10 years: years of success and thankfulness! 

Among the great things God has accomplished through FATEB Kinshasa, we want to lift our voices to share the testimony of Mama Joëlle Tshiswaka, mom to Steacy, Seth and Sam who have been students at FATEB for 10 years. 

This enterprising mom has a women’s hair salon where she regularly welcomes clients for braiding services. She never stops joyfully talking about the many advantages that FKA (FATEB Kinshasa Academy) has offered her children over the years. 

She highlights how in addition to academic excellence, FKA helps shape students who are transformed in their way of life, carrying strong Christian values with them for all their lives. 

Glory to God! What joy to witness, that the parents are deeply convinced not only of the academic quality of the education their children receive, but also of the transformation they see. Many of them recommend FKA to other parents without reservation, so that their children may also benefit from a comprehensive education and a better future. 

To God be the Glory!
