Dear Grant, Greetings. Thank you for the blessing fund, for the general fund and faculty development fund.
Our enrollment has 5 first year, 7 second year, 6 third year and 5 fourth year. The preschool has 5 kinder 2, 20 kinder 1 and 3 nursery with a total of 28 preschool pupils. Pastora Amy, the head of the preschool is hopeful there are still pupils intending to enroll. Please pray with us for more students both for the preschool and the college. We have prayed for 25 new students for the AB Theology, but only 5 has yet found their way to enroll at OBC, the 20 are still somewhere else.
Joey Enanoria, Jonathan’s cousin is a third year student; but he could not enroll for this semester and maybe for the whole year because his wife Bubbles gave birth to their second child prematurely and she has eye problems due to diabetes.
