February Flew by!

I'm not quite sure what happened, but it feels like February passed in the blink of an eye! Everyone has been following their usual routines of school and work. This month, we held one-on-one meetings with each student to assess the past year and discuss goals for this semester. We had productive discussions, and some students will be fine-tuning and adjusting their paths as the Lord guides them.

I wanted to focus this post on some very specific prayer needs and ask that you will go before the Father with each of these request throughout your next week. I have listed them by basic category below:

Students

• Each student will prioritize their personal time with the Lord and their spiritual growth above all else.

• They should have a strong desire to work diligently in their school courses and actively seek internships or other development opportunities.

• They should exhibit gratitude and responsibility for what they have been given and seek to use these resources appropriately.

• They will show respect for one another, prioritizing the needs of others, especially within the household.

• They should foster a spirit of unity and intentionality, working together as a family, showing love, and encouraging each other to be men of integrity and character.

Administrative Needs

• The final steps for opening a bank account can be completed by mid-March. Please pray that we can send the necessary documents by mail safely and that no additional requirements will arise.

• Pray for God to provide a trustworthy property agent (realtor) who understands our needs and vision for Etwene's future home.

• Our fundraising campaign will begin in April. We are praying for an increase of $1000 in our monthly donations or for six one-time donors to fully sponsor one student for a year, which is approximately $6000 per student annually. This covers their tuition and living expenses.

• We also wish to expand our Board of Directors. Please pray for the Lord to prepare the right individual with skills in fundraising and marketing who would volunteer their time to help grow our outreach and establish new networks and connections in the US. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please contact us at admin@etwene.com

Thank you for supporting us with your prayers as we continue to navigate this journey and seek God's wisdom as we grow and mentor these amazing young men.
