A Christian School for Soweto?

A Christian School for Soweto?

My mind often goes back to the time I stood on a small rise in Soweto and looked out over row after row of corrugated tin shacks attached to each other. I knew that each shack housed several people, children and adults.

The picture shows the Christian preschool that already exists. What would it be like if Soweto had a Christian K-8 school for the children who leave Pastor Johnston Mncube and his wife Nomsa’s preschool? Will there ever come a time when Soweto has a Christian high school?

Our friend Samson Makhado is the director of eighty Christian schools in South Africa and he knows a great deal about the Soweto story. Samson knows how to establish an excellent Christian school in South Africa as does his friend, Dale Dieleman, the WCS field director for Africa. Pastor Mncube would love to see his school continue into the upper grades. The only thing lacking is enough money for this project.

Where can we find the money? If you have any ideas for ways of funding this project, please contact Dale at ddieleman@wwcs.org. Or contact me, Gloria Stronks, at gstronks@wwcs.org.
