Driving up in a van to the St. Paul primary school in Naigobya, very few kids are in the classrooms learning or are outside on the grass playing. Instead, several kids from the school and around the community and teachers from the school are gathered under a pavilion behind the school for Saturday Bible Club.
Every Child Ministries' coordinator for the Naigobya Hope Center, Simon Mugulusi, starts to get the children’s attention, getting them ready for the story of Samson from the Bible. Mugulusi has served in Naigobya for the last ten years. He said that the St. Paul school structure has impacted the people of Naigobya greatly.
“That was a need in this community,” Mugulusi said. “They didn’t have any school. They just had a funny structure, but ECM had a plan to construct this beautiful school." Mugulusi said that ECM has given him motivation to continue serving, but he also gains his motivation from the people of the community. “The community itself is a good community, that’s why I have served here ten years,” Mugulusi said. “They love me and I love them.”
