The students in SSM increased this school year, 2008-2009. We have 20 students now with the addition of 8 more students (5 girls & 3 boys). Two of the girls were prior students who stopped for one semester and came back to continue their schooling. Because of their number the apartment they had been housed in became too small for them as they have only one bathroom. In the mornings, the students (3 or 4 at a time) cue for their 10 minute use of the bathroom. With the suggestion of the building owner and after much prayers we decided to transfer the students downstairs to the 2nd floor with 7 rooms by faith. Their rent would be more than twice what they used to pay. The students are happier with more space and more restrooms. 
Three of the students are due to graduate at the end of this school year on March 2009, 2 Crimonology students and 1 teacher. We thank the sponsors for faithfully providing for the food, rent, and other needs of the students. Special thanks goes to Ruth Ellen and Doc. Last summer (April in the Philippines) the students and the staff received 2 packages of clothings from the USA courtesy of Ruth Ellen & Doc. Thank you for continuing to pray for the provisions and needs of these students. Only seven among the 20 students have sponsors and whatever they received is shared among all the students.
Lisa Maxwell has been doing a good job teaching and sharing with the students on Tuesdays during discipleship nights. And on Fridays during fun nights, Tom has been ready with his teambuilding activities.
