Chad Established: 2004 Sites: 3

CCCS serves two elementary schools in Kelo and Zoumandang and a preschool in Ndjamena which plans to add a first grade class in 2010 due to demand. Since 2004, Dr. Massassiou Hathoura, a Chad native and University of Kansas graduate, has faithfully overseen the CCCS committee consisting of three clergy and three laypeople. This past year, Massassiou accepted a position with the African Development Bank in Tunisia. By the grace of God, the committee has filled the position and the schools continue to thrive.
Students and families struggle amidst tensions created from the conflict in the Darfur. These CCCS school sites, woven from reeds, share the Gospel with their war torn neighbors; these Lutheran confessional schools are committed to teaching all students the Gospel of Christ.
The children live in mud houses and attend schools made of straw. These schools must be rebuilt every three years.
