And in August 2012, the new hostel parents were settled in, and welcomed 12 residents.
Four of the 12 are children of the hostel parents :o). The parents of 3 of the resident students work in Gabon; the parents of 5 of the students serve in Central African Republic –one family in Bible translation, one family in medical / technical work and another in Pastoral training/church planting.
