Note of Introduction and Of Request For Support for Hidden Treasure Chrisian High School/ Home

[Evangelist UChenna F. Bekee]

Dearly beloved in the Lord.}

Greetings to you and to your family with all the

saints who are there with you.

May the peace of our father who dwells in Heaven abide

with you continually In Jesus name, Amen.

Beloved, I am counting it all joy to come your way

through this medium though we have not met nor written

to each other before. By way of introduction, I am

UCHENNA F. BEKEE, a gospel preacher with the Church of

Christ that meets at Oyigbo in the Rivers

State of
Nigeria.

I have being into the vineyard of our Lord for well

over sixteen years now, and am
married with a young

daughter
ONE YEAR OLD NOW

I became a preacher of the gospel due to the
love I

have for the souls that are

Living in

darkness and



the

burning

desire to be a part

of the building

up of the

body of

Christ. I was born into a

Christian



family. My

late father was also a

minister of the

gospel

before

he died

in

1992 after a

protracted fight with

diabetes.



I have desired to continue the work which my father

left behind and also to glorify God. Many souls have

been led to be born into the family of God in our

ministry.

Brethren, a few years back the Lord ministered to my

heart and opened my eyes to see the great need which

our African children have and the associated dangers

or setbacks they will face if Christian
education is

neglected. I have noticed and discovered the great

damage being done to Christian homes here through

Non-Christ centered
education. From a population study

which I
did and from many spot experiences in Bible

classes that I
have organized for

our children, It



was

discovered

that the devil is

using the public

schools,

which are meant to

be tuition-free, to

attack the

strength of the

Church. Also
the

so

called

private-schools, which are

mostly
owned

by

denominational

churches, eat
on the

fabric of

the

behavior of

our children and their faith. It became

obvious that the near absence of Church of Christ

schools in our State, which has about 13 million

people , is contributing to the absence of leadership

in almost all the congregations here. This happens

even to an
extent that we hardly recover our children

from falsehood and create separation, weakness, and

unfaithfulness in the parents and guardians.

.We have lost so many young people to drug abuse,

promiscuity, rape,
indecent life styles and
doctrinal

error that many are discouraged from following the

Christ.

Some
good families that are poor

cannot afford to

pay

for

the education of

their children and resort

to

these schools

that offer free education

and

scholarships to them,
and

as a result, they fall away

from

the faith. Seeing

these

trends disturbed my
soul

and I began
to

think of what to do

to
salvage

the

situation. I discovered that if

we can begin

to set up

Christian

schools where our children can be trained

and nurtured both academically and spiritually, we

shall save the situation to a large extent.

Hence, the coming into existence of HIDDEN TREASURE

CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL. After a
discussion I had last

year with brother Glenn Boyd (Searcy Arkansas) who

oversees the work going on at a Bible school in the

South east part of Nigeria ,God used my poor
talents

to begin this all-important
school, which is NINE

months old this week.

This school is meant to offer full
curriculum

education to

the children born into

poor

Christian

families, and to

serve the entire church family

and

the community as

well. it is intended to also

minister

to the physical
and

spiritual needs of these children,

and to

those who are

underprivileged,

delinquent, and

neglected
children by

providing quality

Christian

residential

education and care. Many of these

children

have been

neglected, rejected, and abused.

through no

fault of their own, they suffer from the ills of

dysfunctional families, Emotionally, they are torn

apart. We want to help them become useful to

themselves, their families,
and the community of

believers.

We seek to provide activities to assist the well

rounded development of each child or student, a

development similar to Jesus' development in
Luke.

2"52. Here, intellectual growth will be
stimulated

through academic training, Physical growth


promoted

through various physical

activities,

and spiritual

growth fostered

through religious training and

worship

periods.Students in

Hidden Treasure now are

encouraged

to always give their full
effort

in these areas.

Our moral philosophy rest on

the moral

principles

found in
the

Bible. the educational
goals therefore

seek

to help each
student

become the best he / she

can

be in life.



Hidden

treasure Christian High School

has been

established to provide

both the
atmosphere and

training most conducive for developing well educated

and faithful Christians. Hence, every member of the

administration, faculty and staff is committed to live

by and to teach the bible


.

Brethren, presently, we have children
from Christian

homes in the school and they are learning very
fast.

We have seven teachers, including four females and

three males, and a minder

who takes care of the KG4-5.

The school

is intended to be

a purely missionary

Christian

school, and that is why this long

letter is

been sent to you who also

know the value of

education.

I know of your faithful work in the lord's

vineyard

and strongly hope that you people can help

us
and

as

well guide us toward

congregations or individuals

who could help our great

need.



Presently, we

are using a leased apartment

and we

lack

many basic
facilities

to encourage learning

and

development of the boy and girl child. We

are

outgrowing our
space and need to relocate to a place

we can call our own. We need a minibus, for the

transportation of the
children to and from school,

classroom books, library, science
equipment, school

desks, and a set of computers.



I have included an estimated monthly budget of the

school with our immediate needs, and pictures

of the

present children and staff. I am

located on the far

right

of the
smaller children. The faculty

and staff

are Christians, working

on faith that their salaries

can be

raised.



An

executive board of four Christian brothers is
being

set up to

oversee the school and its
finances. More

detail can be

provided upon

request. We are praying

that

God will bless us with sponsoring congregations

and

individuals. At present our income is

about

$400/month, far less
than

needed .Of course parents of

students will

be expected to contribute

what they
are

able, but most are very poor. Some

of the needs are

urgent.



The church in Storrs has supported the

work here for many
years, but it is small and can

only provide a small amount.



we will appreciate it if you can be of help

to us in this work we are doing for our God.



until I hear from you, remain

blessed forever.

Yours In Him.

UChenna F.


Bekee.
