Something for the children
With the addition of many
more student families at our college, the number of kids here has raised
significantly. As a mom of a
preschooler (Eleas now 2 ˝ years old!),
Ive been blessed in many ways by two students that have a heart for the many
missionary children here. Tabby and
Rachel are current students at our college, and they use some of their
servanthood hours to teach a preschool two days a week (Tues. & Thurs.,
10:45am-12:15pm). The time is spent in
prayer, song, Bible stories, crafts, play, and much more. Last week, the kids went on a horse and
cart ride (along with moms or dads) to a local farm to pet the animals and
ride a horse. Eleas still talking about the
horsie ride. Pray that God will use
this time to set an everlasting love in their hearts for Him!
Taco Night and Other Intern Activities
Once again, Jason oversees
the intern program this school year.
This year we have 9 interns serving on our campusTibor (maintenance),
Eric (coffee shop), Sam (devotions, landscaping), Chris (servanthood class
and hours), Bryce (dishes/Chuck Smith track class), Sarah (library/dining
room), Michelle (Cappucino Bar), Melanie (CCBCE office), and Melissa
(housekeeping/laundry). They are all
committed to serve here for one year, and each semester they will oversee a
different area of the college. In
addition to practical ministry experience, they also take a series of classes
that prepares them at a greater depth for full time ministry. Every intern also leads an outreach each
semester during outreach week, in addition to living in the dorm and helping
out as dorm stewards.
Serving alongside these interns is such a blessing! Now and then we just cant
resist having some good ol fun with them, too, and that comes out in events,
like tonights Taco Night at our house.
Nothing brings a group of people closer together than a night of
Mexican food! Both guy and girl interns have planned fun filled nights for
the students, including the lastest Girls Night Out (games, fun, movie,
and food) for the female staff and students, and the guys planning an all-guy
bonfire that same night. Theyve gone
bowling, trips to local cities, and so much more! Jason and I stand amazed at this latest
group of interns that are full of energy, excitement, and a willingness to
serve God in any capacity. Theyve already grown so much and theres still a
year to go! Pray for them, especially as they try to balance work, ministry,
and discipleship. Its a challenging program for sure, but God is using them mightily.
Prayer & Praise
ˇ
Please
continue to remember in your prayers
the upcoming outreach week (Oct. 20-29th). This semester, students will head on mission trips
to Kyrgystan, Ireland, Finland, Serbia, Macedonia, Uganda, Hungary, Ukraine,
Moldova, Kosovo, and Croatia. Jason, Elea,
and I will be going to Kaposvar,
Hungary, for
the week along with a team of students. Vacation Bible
School and street
evangelism will be some of our main activities, along with church
ministry. May many come to know Jesus
through the witness and examples of the students here!
ˇ
November 17-23rd, Angie and Rose Martin will
travel to Radom, Poland
to speak at an outreach to English teachers. Elea will be
heading to Poland with
Angie (minus Jason, who has to stay in Hungary to teach classes!)
ˇ
Praise God for all the students this
semester! There is such a unity and excitement among
them, that only God can be given the glory for this group. Please continue to pray that God would help
them balance their studies with ministry, while also helping them to grow
more and more in Him.
ˇ
We
are thankful for Angies pregnancy and this new life Gods given us. Pray
that God will watch over the development of this little one and that Angies
pregnancy would be easy and uncomplicated.
Her due date is March 26th.
ˇ
As
studies continue, outreach plans are made, and friendships are formed, pray that over it all, Gods will reigns.
