ESL language course In Matagalpa

Our team arrived safely on Saturday afternoon.  After getting settled, Michelle put us right to work preparing our materials for the language course.  Prepped and fed we headed over to the orphanage.  One of our team members brought the kids a new xbox and  TV.  The kids had a good time with dance party while we were there.  The T shirt dresses were a hit with the girls.  Thank you Gail Walston and Heather Kendrick.  The children was very gracious and thankful for the gifts.  Joy and her staff have done an awesome job with the kids.

Sunday morning we enjoy our worship time together.  Mike challenged us to be open and allow God to speak to us through the week as we serve the students.  It is easy to get caught up in the processes of teaching and never talking time to spend with God listening.

After worship we headed out to Matagalpa.  Registration went really smooth as compared to January.  We had a steady stream of students all afternoon which allowed us to take our time and not feel over whelmed.  We registered 400 students today!  We are expecting 100 plus to be added tomorrow.  God is so faithful to us.  We were concerned that we may be overwhelmed with students but God knew what was best.  Our numbers through registration fit our team perfectly.  The new guys get to team teach and then later in the day they have their own classes.  Everyone is excited and working together.  We are looking forward to a great week.

                                     

                                         

This evening we went to Primera Baptist Church In Matagalpa.  Pastor Javier and his church family welcomed us and prayed for our efforts this week as we partner together to share the good news of Christ in the city.

Pray for us as we build relationships and share our stories of the hope we have in Christ.
