Good Evening!
We started our Monday with a bang this morning. The
boys struggled to get into "school mode" after the long weekend.
We had a national holiday on Friday and went with
the staff on a trip. We all went on our small motos. Gideon behind Twans and
Anton had to sit behind me. It was a long motorbike ride first on the highway
and then into the province. We went to a village where they’ve build everything
out of the mud. Amazing! Angry Birds was the boys' favorite. After that, we
travelled further to visit a small forest. They've built a small walkway all
through the forest and it was good to walk surrounded by trees and silence. Our
boys loved the day out. It is always very special to spend time with the staff
and university students of Community Link. Twans's old students are a special
group and it is a privilege to see how they are growing in their relationship
with God and each other.
We now have a room, especially for the online
classes. JunMar has set it up with lights, sound etc to help make our online
classes a better quality. Twans and the teachers are having fun preparing small
videos and teaching material. The
students who are able to join are faithful in attendance. It is difficult to
get them to hand in homework. They need to take a picture of their homework and
send it to us, but many times it is clear they just copy from one another. Miss
the face-to-face classroom a lot.
Thankful to be able to go to Noak every morning. Her
wound is looking better. She loves to chat and is very happy if I bring Twans
with. Had to encourage her again to take a bath every morning as she skipped a
few days again. Please pray for discernment and understanding as we try to
teach her to clean her own wound and take some responsibility but need wisdom
on how to do it. We know God loves her so much and we pray for her salvation.
Nothing is impossible for our God. We watched the interview with Steve Saint
last night (from "end of the spear") with the children and were so
encouraged by his testimony. He went through a lot of pain and he just kept on
saying, God loves us and God loves and we just need to continue walking in
obedience to Him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-FPehZC4tI&t=2488s
Please pray with us for Gideon. He turns 18
tomorrow! We thank God for the many miracles He has done in our son's life.
Schoolwork is a huge challenge at the moment. Please pray for him for
understanding, a sound mind, the ability to concentrate and a desire to learn.
And most of all, that he would fall in love with Jesus and follow Him with all
his heart.
May this week be a real blessing to you all?
Love
