Exceeding, abundant, more than we ask or think...

We had an amazing response to our English course, with over 100 responding!!! This is an amazing number for us, but a true answer to prayer. The Lord has used this as a way to confirm to us and our friends here that He is in this work. This huge response is calling for changes in logistics, as we had planned on having the meetings at the church. However, the church can not accomodate this large number. You can see from our pictures that we will be challenged even having the meetings at the conference room. Our plan B is to now have two sessions of classes, a three hour session in the afternoon from 2 until 5, then another session in the evening from 7 to 10. We will have the afternoon session at the church and the evening session at the conference room at a local hotel.

Please pray for the following,

1. That all that came to our registration will come to our classes through the week.

2. For physical stamina for us as we teach and travel between locations.

3. For wisdom to know how to best arrange logistics for our classes in order to most effectively teach.

4. For us to be able to quickly build relationships with so many, and for the Holy Spirit to direct our thoughts and words.

We will have opportunities to work with students in a local university on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This will mean pretty full days, but more opportunities to share. We have been in this university many times over the last several years, and have developed good relationships with the faculty and students. We look forward to seeing new students and connecting with friends.

We are reminded once again that it is the Lord that is in control and that only through the Holy Spirit and His strength that any good work will be done. We are in awe of our God, and good He is. Pray for our spiritual strength and protection as we seek to tell about Him. We pray that all we do will honor Him and bring glory to His name.
