I'm glad to see you are still alive!! I've missed reading your blog. It sounds like things are going really well there and that God is working in many ways! I miss you and wish you were here! We've been going through some difficult things, but your blog helps me keep perspective. Praying for you! Love you!

Dear Friends,

I feel so blessed to begin my fifth year teaching at Kigali International Community School, in Kigali, Rwanda. I teach 4th grade at KICS, which serves over 30 different nationalities. We have earned accreditation with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and Middle States Association.

Our school primarily exists to serve missionaries and their children. However, we also have a large East African and local Rwandese population as well. Please visit our website to learn more about the school!

www.kicsrw.org

Thank you for your prayers for this ministry, as well as other ministries here in Rwanda. Prayer is essential! I have seen God work in many ways these past four years; in the lives of my Rwandan friends and community, my dear students, and in my own life as well. I am thankful that I have so many family and friends who are praying for all of us!

An additional way you can partner with me and what God is doing here at KICS is through financial assistance. I need to raise support of approximately $500/month to help with basic necessities, cost of school supplies, health insurance, and various other supplies to aid ministries here in Kigali. KICS provides a monthly stipend that will be used for housing. If you feel led to assist me in this way, there is an account set up in my name through my church, First Presbyterian, Kannapolis. You may send checks to the church for this account. The address is:

First Presbyterian Church
201 Vance St.
Kannapolis, NC 28083.

Each donation will be tax-deductible.

I enjoy hearing from all of you! Please feel welcome to email me at emgriggs@hotmail.com. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner! I also have Skype. My Skype name is efgriggs.

Thank you for your willingness to share in and partner with what the Lord is doing in Kigali! I appreciate you!

Many Blessings,

Emily Griggs
