Teacher for Missionaries’ children, Kenya
AT the Sengera Mission, Kenya, there is urgent need for a teacher to teach the missionaries’ children in both primary and secondary subjects. There are several children to be taught at present, and the course for children at all stages will be based on a curriculum, yet to be decided upon by the Committee and the parents, which covers all necessary subjects.
The new teacher will also have the opportunity to give religious instruction, under the guidance of the Mission minister, to the African children in the large Mission-sponsored primary school there.
For further information please contact the Clerk of the Foreign Mission Committee, the Rev. J. R. Tallach, Free Presbyterian Manse, Raasay, Kyle, IV40 8PB. Telephone and Fax No. 01478 660216.
