If you have yet to return them, this would also be appreciated. The next AMPC meetings are open meetings for the first half of the evening in a similar way to the May meetings. The first half of the evening will be focusing on the Developing Discipleship Programme and will be led by the Archdeacon of Boston, The Venerable Justine Allain Chapman and by one of the Developing Discipleship Advisers – everyone is very warmly invited to this part of the evening, and it would be particularly helpful for parish clergy, churchwardens, PCC members etc to be present. As before, if people cannot make the date for their archdeaconry meeting, they are very welcome to attend one of the other meetings, as the input for the first half of the meeting will be consistent across all three archdeaconries.

As their next project during the coming six months, the Mission Group have decided to support the School, both prayerfully and financially and invite you, if you wish, to join in this support. The School was started by my niece, Sarah, and her husband Samuel, who is a Ghana-an, soon after they decided to make their home there in 2004. Initially, it was to be an orphanage, but as this was not found to be necessary in their area of the Country – a few miles north of Accra, the capital – and the realisation that education was completely inadequate, Sarah started to teach their three girls at home. Others soon asked if they could join them, and it was realised that a proper school was the answer, so the Beacon School (the “light”) was formed. Initially this was held in the basement of their new home, which was literally being built above them. The first intake of the School was 14 pupils, but numbers rapidly grew and it was obvious that a proper building and additional staff were needed. The School was built – like their house – by degrees around them and extra rooms added when funds became available, and so by 2008 numbers of pupils had increased to 140. So progress continues; there are currently between 170 and 180 pupils in a lovely school building, and by 2016 they are hoping to accommodate boarders and also pupils through their secondary education, as the limit at the moment is only to the age of 12 years.
