Dear Kingdom Parents,

Greetings in the name of Jesus, our Lord! The Bible says: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come (2 Timothy 3:1). The Lord warned that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10a). In these end times, let us be sober and vigilant and fix our eyes on the Word of God. Let us demonstrate the dunamis power of God to work miracles by faith (Galatians 3:5). And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

Dear Kingdom Parents,
Greetings in the name of Jesus, our Lord! Beware that in the last days, many are being conditioned to end up taking the mark of the beast, as mentioned in the Bible. Let us be strong in the Lord and be prepared for such a time when believers who do not have the mark are not allowed to buy and sell.

We thank God that He connected us with some brethren who see themselves as “Friends of the school” to build a herb garden, micro-aquaponic station, a 4-square edible farm model, and a mycology lab to educate students and the community in our school premises. We believe we will have a good harvest to feed the hungry and share the gospel of the Kingdom of God that Jesus came to establish.

Activities for the month of February:

• Leadership Training, Thursday & Friday, 2 & 3 February, 1:15-5:00pm – The theme for this training is: Discipleship to manifest as sons of God in His Kingdom.
• Japanese students and staff visit, Thursday, 2 February – We together with student volunteers from Junior High and High school are excited to welcome them, to share the gospel of the Kingdom and what our school is all about.
• Family Day, Saturday, 25 February – Please mark your calendar and join us for this big Family Day.

Dear Kingdom Parents,
Greetings to all. We would like to bring to your attention that some students have been sleeping in their offices, have lost focus on their studies, and are distracted. The root cause is often time and sleepless nights wasted on social media, using electronic gadgets, computers, and ungodly books.

Please be vigilant and remove inappropriate apps, limit usage, supervise, monitor, and protect your children from evil. Also, do spend time feeding them with spiritual truths, knowing the fear of God is to hate evil, and knowing who they are in Christ.

Activities for the month of August:

• Combined Chapel, from Monday, 1 August, 2022: We are resuming the weekly combined chapel time, suspended since Covid-19.

Dear Kingdom Parents,

Welcome back to school! “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Hebrews 12:1b-3
