As we look toward 2016, we are full of anticipation. The doors that God opened for us in September have led to wonderful new relationships and opportunities. The first seven months are already scheduled, with several schools interested in planning for training and mentoring sessions for August - October. Please pray over the following activities:
JANUARY - We will welcome ALI’s international director, Dan Perrine, who will assist us for two months! This month we’ll offer Saturday trainings for St Jacob’s Primary school teachers, followed by mentoring in their classrooms for the entire month.
FEBRUARY - Mentoring at Paul Boit Boys High School in Kapkong, with assistance from Dan Perrine.
MARCH - We conclude our PBBHS mentoring, conduct leadership training sessions for two Eldoret schools, and speaking at Easter church conferences
APRIL - Two week long trainings for Rock Mirror primary teachers (Level 1), and Fahamu primary teachers (Level 1)
MAY - Mentoring at Rock Mirror primary school all month long
JUNE - Mentoring at Fahamu primary school all month long
JULY - Back to our Saturday training format for Christ Victory primary school (Level 2), with mentoring happening each week for the entire month.
As before, the need for volunteers to assist in our ministry is GREAT. With such a busy training and mentoring schedule ahead of us in 2016 we are wondering how God will multiple our hands to include others in the ministry effort. Retired teachers, Sunday school teachers, current teachers - if you feel drawn to sharing with African educators about how to teach from a biblical perspective, modeling the importance of critical thinking skills, and ways to engage learners, we’d love to hear from you!
A scripture that has been dear to us for several years seems even more powerful now as we dig into personal studies of Galatians...and as we anticipate the celebration of our Savior’s birth:
“For through the Spirit, by faith,
we ourselves eagerly wait for the
hope of righteousness.” - Galatians 5:5
