Thankful

As the American Thanksgiving Holiday time approaches, I want to take a moment and say thank you. Thank you for praying and partnering in this ministry, thank you for taking the time to read these blogs and for thinking of us serving here in this little country.

This week and next (November 25th – December 6th) we will be busy with our intense Adult Literacy Facilitator Training. Facilitators of the adult literacy classes from 5 different nearby villages will be spending the next two weeks with us. During this time each facilitator (and hopefully me since I will be a student also) will grow in their own knowledge of reading and writing in heart language as well as learn how to best pass this knowledge on and encourage the classes they facilitate. There will also be lots of fellowship, fun, food and encouragement as the facilitators come together as well as some healthy competition. Our lead worker says he does not want me to be last this session. Most importantly everyday around 6am EST we will be sharing videos of bible teachings, please be praying for good conversation and soft hearts.

I am grateful, thankful and blessed by all that the Lord does each and everyday and the many opportunities He provides.

Check out this PDF for more information about how you, your family, your small group or your church can sponsor one of our Adult Literacy Classes. Each sponsor receives details about their class and class facilitator as well as quarterly class updates and prayer requests.
