Winding Down

I'm sitting here listening to some of the 8th graders share about what God taught them on our Immersion trip to Singapore/Indonesia--what an amazing group of kids we have!

...when I wrote that we had only been back a week--but it still seemed like another life. A slow paced life--such a great experience for our students--most haven't even seen poverty close up and they are surrounded by a stress filled busy atmosphere.

I want to share some things the students contributed at our follow-up meeting.

Sophia, 8th grade, "It's wonderful how God knows each and every one of us and waits so long for us to come to Him."

SangWu, 8th grade, "I actually felt God working in the people around me."

It was VERY exciting to hear their reactions and pray with our small groups one more time. I don't get to see my girls very often because I am not teaching any of them this quarter. (ok, as I was typing this two of my girls stopped in for a hug, but I really don't see them very often) It seems like God is continuing to work in Julie--please pray for her. She still seems to have a "works-based" understanding what Christianity is.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we traveled. It was an amazing experience--many students slowed down and heard God, some for the first time.
