Return to Apple Country

I've just returned from a trip higher in the mountains to visit Victorious English school, and help start the new term. I always love going there. I stayed a week, teaching each day from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm, and training the teachers some days in the afternoon. The new school year is just beginning. Bill hired a new teacher this term, Sangeeta. I really like her. She is teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Thanks to a donation from Aunty Glenda, I was able to purchase some needed supplies, and some equipment for the school. Here are some photos from my latest trip. I hope these will help you pray for this rural school.

 The kids loved the tee ball set!

While I taught, the teachers and Pallu were gathered around a warm fire!

 Duck, duck, goose!

 Making name cards.

Principal Bill and his new desk.

 I taught the kids how to use tools to play with the Playdough.

 I love returning to the village across the river to visit these little sisters and brother.

 his is the goat I wanted.

This is the ewe I bought. Her wool and lambs will help Bill's ministry.

 The road home.

The roads were good -no trouble. The avalanches were cleared away, and the weather was great.

Beautiful Feet in Town

We have some beautiful feet from Mississippi in town this week. We are thankful for their support, encouragement, and prayers. They have been busy delivering messages, assisting in trainings, and praying over areas in our state. We depend on the awesome prayer support we get from our home churches and prayer warriors. Thank you so much for joining us in His work in South Asia. I hope as you view the photos on this blog you will pray for their souls.
With news of Osama bin Laden's death, I feel a heightened burden and sense of awareness of the need to reach out to those who have had no choice because they have not seen, felt, or heard of the love of Jesus Christ. Americans in South Asia have received warnings of possible repercussions against us in reaction to bin Laden's death. Please pray that we not miss opportunities to share His love with others in all circumstances. Remember workers who are serving in areas with large Muslim populations.
C., another team member, is in another district helping to start and English Training Center with a national partner. This partner has a burden for his village and has started this center as a way to share His love and make a difference in his village. Please pray that this center will be a lighthouse for Christ, and that those who come through will learn more than English.
