One Week In

Tonight marked the completion of our first week of English Clubs. We are getting to know our students, the Campus staff are making connections, and students have read and discussed the stories of the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and the Feeding of the 5,000, introducing God as a loving Father and Jesus as the Bread of Life. Pray that students will continue thinking about what these themes mean for them over the weekend, before we begin again Monday evening.

This weekend will mean a break from our English Club schedule, but will still be full. We will do some sightseeing on Saturday, and then in the evening we are hosting an American Valentine's Day Party (because in America, we do this all the time?). It will be a great time to meet with the students outside of class, giving them the chance to talk with us and the Campus staff, as well as enjoy games and tastes of American culture and food. Sunday we will attend church with Anya and Alina, and later in the day we hope to have the opportunity to treat our wonderful hostesses to an opera at the famed Opera House. Please pray that the party will provide a great opportunity to interact with students and that we will find rest and refreshment for our second week.
