Week two has ended. What a week!

Week two has ended. What a week!

Our goal for enrollment was three groups of twelve – two men’s groups and one ladies’ group. As the applications came in we began to realize that our former learners were busy telling others about the training we offer. Wow! Paul has fifteen on Tuesdays and sixteen on Fridays. Patty has thirteen ladies! This does not include the two ACTION missionaries who are also attending!

There are already 29 on waiting lists for next June. This work is much bigger than we are. We could sure use another couple to come and duplicate what we are doing now.

Thursday, Marife arrived with Glenda in tow. “I am a pastor’s wife. Fe told me about the training and shared what she is learning and I really need this training too!” How do you say “no”? She is already there.

Our plans were to move to another area at the end of this session and train pastors there. Hmmm. It looks like we will be here for a while longer. We just desire to be where God wants us to be at any given time.

We were planning to teach just the first two weeks of December as Christmas is such a big celebration here. The pastors have requested we teach until the 19th of December! We will, and we will serve special meals to celebrate the birth of our Lord with them. That is great timing as it will allow us to complete the first section of the training material.
