New schools added to the ISCF family

At an ISCF Promotional in March I had mentioned the names of the schools where we had started ISCF groups. One of the young people in the audience asked, "What about Happy Hill?" When I responded that we had not yet found a teacher to be the sponsor of the group there, he suggested a teacher who was a pastor. So at the beginning of this term I met with the principal and, a couple minutes after bringing up the name of the teacher suggested by the student, the same teacher walked into the office! It turns out that he knew about ISCF, and was willing to serve as the sponsor for the group. The result? There is now an ISCF group at Happy Hill Secondary.

The sponsor at Wesley College was determined to get a group started there this term, even if it meant making the sacrifice to get to school at 7:30am! Many of the students get to school early, and it was felt that mornings were ideal to meet while they are fresh, and the meeting would help to put them in the right frame of mind for the day ahead. There have been different faces every week, but we are grateful that a start has been made with ISCF at Wesley College.

Efforts were made to start ISCF at Grenada Boys Secondary last term, but with many of the prospective members being heavily involved in athletics, that proved to be a challenge. With less distractions this term, we were able to have regular meetings. One of the students who has been most interested in ISCF a young man whose father is a Muslim, but who would like to ‘get out’ of Islam. He constantly asks the sponsor at GBSS if there will be a meeting every week, and was very disappointed when we missed a day due to the school being used as an exam center. We sourced a bible for him through the Gideon’s and we are praying that the ISCF meetings would be a source of encouragement and growth for him.

 

Discussing the topic: Should Christians participate in Carnival?

Explaining why Christians should stay away from Carnival

An introductory meeting was held at Westerhall Secondary last term, but it was a challenge to actually have meetings which were scheduled for after school. Sometimes school finished early so the students left, other times they simply forgot. This term we decided to work with those who were committed to staying back after school regardless. The four students who were faithful in attending the meetings this term agreed to form the Executive of the Westerhall ISCF group for the new academic year.

Please keep all these students in your prayers, as they seek To Know Christ and To Make Him Known in their schools.
