Dear Family and Friends,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is with a happy and overwhelmed heart that we tell you that God has abundantly provided for us to send our kids to Killian Hill Christian School next year!!! We wrote to you all about this a little while ago, asking for prayer. God’s timing was so good as we continued to pray and trust Him each time we worried about schools for next\u00a0year. We knew God was able to meet our kids’ needs in the public school, but it was a big step of faith to keep trusting Him with that. Every time we weighed the two options, the Christian school seemed better suited to our kids’ needs in so many ways.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are in awe of God’s faithfulness and provision! Now Charis will not be going alone to a huge public middle school, but all four kids can be at the same place. Caleb can get the specific extra help he needs through the Discovery program for learning disabilities that he will go to a few times a week. The rest of the time he’ll be in the regular 4th grade classroom. I (Esther)\u00a0plan to get Discovery certified next year and we pray that when we return to PNG,\u00a0I will be able to pick up where he leaves off in the program to help him learn to cope in school and life. This is such a huge relief to me for him to be able to get the help he really needs. Nathan will be able to go into 1st grade, and Zachary will be able to go to a half day Kindergarten. I had so many\u00a0misgivings about putting him in\u00a0a full day Kindergarten program in the public school. Not having little ones at home for the first time in 12 years, I look forward to being free to volunteer and help out in each of the kids classrooms as much as possible next year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We thank each of you for your prayers and support. Your faithful giving through the years,\u00a0our careful saving of it, and God recently surprising us with a large sum\u00a0is together making this possible.\u00a0 Praise God with us at His tremendous blessings!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next week is our last week of home school here for this school year!\u00a0We are all getting really excited about leaving the tribe at the end of the month and traveling through Europe back to the United States for the first time in 4 years! We can’t wait to reconnect with each of you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Praising God,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
