Today we will be praying for the Teachers & Students at Bingham Academy. www.binghamacademy.net

Founded in 1946, Bingham Academy is an international Christian K-12 school located in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. Their vision is to provide quality, accredited Christian education within a multicultural community, developing students of integrity who can change the world for God’s glory.
We have friends who teach at the school and other friends who send their kids there. We have visited the campus on several occasions and we plan to be a part of their invaluable Homeschool Co-op program.
All expatriate staff at Bingham Academy are volunteers who are affiliated with a mission organization. The faculty currently represents the United States, Australia, England, Northern Ireland, Ethiopia, South Korea, Norway, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, and Scotland! Staff raise financial support to meet their living expenses--Bingham Academy does not pay a salary to expatriate teachers. The staff body is made up of singles, married couples and families.
Bingham Academy was originally established to meet the educational needs of missionary children and the majority of the students continue to be children of missionaries or Christians serving the people of Ethiopia. The remainder of the students come from the wider expatriate community in Addis Ababa. According to government regulations they can only accept enrollments from students who hold a foreign passport.
WOW! What a diverse group!
