Africa The African continent has experienced significant growth in membership, while many areas have experienced economic, social and political challenges and hardships. A major need is for more schools and schoolrelated programs. Global Mission has called for a focus on literacy and vocational training for the underprivileged and more Gospel outreach programs and evangelistic training and materials. Griggs University/Griggs International Academy has worked in collaboration with many church entities to provide much needed educational opportunities. From adult pastors and young people in such countries as Ghana, Rwanda, the Congo, Cameroon, South Africa, Mauritius, Madagascar, and Tanzania to K-12 students across the African continent, over 800 students, in recent years, have earned certificates and degrees from Griggs. We have expanded our work with relief and government agencies to provide emergency education for refugees and students in need. One such refugee, a “Sudanese lost boy,” Yuot Bol Ayok, writes of his life as an orphan while escaping his small Village of Anyidi when it came under Muslim attack. He lived for a number of years in an Ethiopian refugee camp, but once again war broke out and he had to 6 ee for his life. After reaching a camp in Kenya, Yuot was provided with food and shelter by the Red Cross and course work through Griggs. He writes, &ldqou;I thank everybody who contributed to help Sudanese children during this disaster.” our supporters that we are able to provide these services.
