Hey all you still out theres. It's me again with another (semi)monthly update. Where to start? Um, well, last time we were in the middle of making midterms at school, now we are in the middle of getting our finals approved and ready so that we can give them the first week of October. What the heck man? How is it already September, and where exactly did this semester go?
That about sums up how I am feeling right now, everything is flying full bore and I'm mostly along for the ride. But it's been a fun ride.
For the Tuesday night group, we have a few new faces, are missing a couple of old faces and have been getting a little deeper into the gospels. It's been good, but we are getting to a part where it is a little harder to communicate. So pray for us that we can find someone to help us with that. We have considered asking someone from BaanKanoon to come help, but right now I would like for a few of the people who I know are Christians and go to North to be able to step in and help us because I would like the peeps at BK to go out and start their own new groups rather than just stay around and act as translators, but to become leaders in their own groups. So please pray for us in that, both that the believers at BK would be going out and starting and leading their own groups, and that we would be able to find someone to come and help us out.
The Wednesday night group is going well. We are working through the basic stories from Creation to Christ, because this group will graduate in October. So pray for God to open their hearts to receive the truth.
On Thursday, the two that are coming said that they wanted to learn English, I told them I wanted to teach them about the Bible, so we compromised and are using Bible stories to practice speaking and understanding English. It has been surprisingly good.
We all have about 3 weeks left until finals, and then break and then we will see what happens during the break and next semester.
Big plan for this month is we want to take all the students studying at my house on a trip the last weekend of the month, and right now are looking at a place to go camping about an hour away if we can do it and keep it affordable. So be praying for us about that.. about finding the right place to camp, and that the students will come, and that it would be restful, fun and good weekend. And that we can get to know our students better so as to know how to live life with them better.
so that's a quick note on what's going on now. For me, please pray that I can find a Christian who is passionate about teaching and would be willing to do that here for maybe 2 years or more if they like it.
Also, probably going to start sending out fund raising letters, because if the groups keep growing like this, gonna need some extra help keeping up. So please be praying for me, that I can find the funds I need, as well as for if maybe you are one of the people who will be helping me out.
Welll, that's about all I can think of now. Also be praying for Rob and Jordan as they are finishing their ICS term here and will be returning to the states next month. Love you all.
