Great turnout!

WOW! I told you yesterday we had 57 sign up for our class on Sunday, and that we expected more for our first class on Monday. We had 94 come to class last night! This is both wonderful and a challenge at the same time. Our conference room can really not accomodate that many, so we were spilling out into the halls and lobby area. We have offered to have classes this afternoon at the church to help us with the capacity, but we have only 10 who can do that. So, we have rented an additional conference room on another floor of the hotel and will also use the lobby of that floor. Our desire is to be able to share with as many people as possible, but we also want to deliver a quality English course. Having 26 people being taught by one person in a room with 50 other people is a challenge. Please pray for each of us to know how to modify our plans so that all who have come will have a chance to experience not only a good, relevant, English experience but also an opporunity to hear the Word proclaimed.

It has been a real joy to see those who have come to our classes in the past eagerly come again. Please pray that we continue to show the love of Christ as we teach, and that the Holy Spirit will be preparing them to hear as we share on Friday. We believe that these relationships are key for us as we earn the right to share Christ with them. Pray that we daily remember our role as ambassadors, regardless of how tired we are or how we may need to modify what we have already worked so hard to prepare.

Please post comments as you read our updates. It is such an encouragement to know you are praying for us.

Thats all for now, we have an afternoon class to go to!
