We’re back to the ‘real world’ after a somewhat relaxing week in the mountains and rain forest. Although we have many more bug bites and all our clothes came home smelling like mildew, we really enjoyed this time away. It was a very special week for staff and students alike. It’s pretty special when Outdoor Ed can be taught from a Christian standpoint, and even though we kept them busy, none of the students wanted to leave.
Now we are in the middle of Spiritual Emphasis Week. A speaker from Vienna Christian Schools is here, speaking every morning and evening about how the gospel changes lives. We tend to forget this sometimes, especially if we’ve been Christians for a long time, or if we were saved at a very young age.
Please pray that the we will be able to complete the purchase of the vehicle the Lord is providing for us. Since the people we are buying it from are already back in the states and they aren’t avid e-mailers, communication has been a problem. We’d like to get this completed so we can take the jeep to Mali in November.
Also pray that the Lord will work in hearts during this Spiritual Emphasis Week, and that life-changing decisions will be made. These are pretty special kids, most of whom are bilingual and comfortable in a third-world situation. How special to realize that God has plans for them and for us, plans to prosper us and to give us success.
