Hull High School Kijota

-





 Is was a special day getting to visit Hull High School in Kijota. 5 years ago when we visited, there were 170 students and they needed a new dining hall. Today we saw the results of Mount Olive’s collaboration with Hull, and were able to see the new dining hall first hand. This year there are 513 students at Hull, and the new dining hall is being used for many purposes. Sherry even led a session with students in the new hall asking them questions from Mount Olive members, getting them to ask questions about us, and teaching them about Mount Olive and Minnesota. It was a good day.

    You all continue to be a blessing -- to our partners and friends there, and to us! It's so good to hear that Hull is doing so well. Congratulations to all of them, and to you three, too!

 Worship today was one of joy and celebration. Choirs sang and danced, the sermon was preached, brass played and several offerings were taken, 5 in all and included an auction of produce and other items. Another very special part of the service was the baptism of 7 month old Liam Marcus. Sherry was his baptismal sponsor and had the privilege of holding him while he was baptized.

Of the five Travelers, only Mark had previous experience with the school, and he told us later that he was very concerned about what we would find.  In yet another example of the Suprising Blessings we had on this trip, we found the Hull School very, very healthy and vibrant -- and asking for help because of how much it has grown. A bit of history.  Many years ago, when the school was a school for girls, Mount Olive had had a strong relationship with the school.  It housed around 30 girls, and Mount Olive members paid for the construction of the Dining Hall (among other things.)  Here is that Dining Hall. The school hit hard times, the relationship with Mount Olive was broken for a while, and several years ago, the school found itself with only nine students. The headmaster of the school
