Hot Season

Hot Season

Thank you for praying for us! God provided an eighth-grade English teacher so Walter could return to full-time administrative work, but Walter enjoyed interacting with students again. His students still come up to him and give him hugs and tell him that they miss him. Walter bonded so well with the eighth-grade class that he […]

Home Assignment for Second Semester

Home Assignment for Second Semester

Thank you for praying for us! First semester was exciting and exhausting. We are definitely feeling more like 60 years old. I can’t stay up until 2 am and then bounce out of bed like I used to, but we are so thankful for our ministry that God has called us to and equipped us […]

Renew, Revive, Refresh

Thank you for praying for us! It has been a fabulous year, though exhausting starting our programs up again. God strengthened us for the task, and we all grew in the process, but most importantly, God was glorified. Our school-wide theme was “Renew, Revive, Refresh,” and we saw God do that in all of us. […]
