New School Year, New Faces

This past September we started the year off with 25 students. They come from seven different nations and every type of background. We started the school year off with a work week. I think the students realized this was going to be a different type of school. Actually some of the students really enjoy the work as they are learing things like welding, painting and building cabinets. We have fourteen students back from last year and eleven new students. This years theme for the students is on Integrity. We want the students to know right from the start that Integrity is vital for their success in the ministry and that it is their responsibility to develop a walk of Integrity. It tells us in Proverbs 10:9, “He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his way will become known.” God will be faithful to watch over those who walk in integrity. Just like last year and the year before my wife Elizabeth and I are supporting a couple of students. That means their tuition and their weekly expenses. The tuition has doubled since last year so we have not be able to support as many, but we are grateful to all of you that are helping us in this endeavor. There are many times where we are helping other students with their visas and expenses. Thank you so much for your continued support for Elizabeth, Jeremiah and myself!

On a side note we celebrated Jeremiah’s 2nd birthday on Sept. 23rd with all of our students and held a picnic at our house.
