Today after our program in the village and lunch with the office team, I went to teach a Bible lesson and again my translator was away. (They say he’ll come tomorrow but it seems like “tomorrow” spells “never” here…) But one of the other teachers was willing to help. So I stood in front of 35 1st graders that I’m supposed to teach but around us there were many more children – hanging from the windows, crowding in through the doors…So I taught the lesson to about 70 kids but then we were to do crafts and I only had material for 35 – as was agreed. My heart just broke because I didn’t have enough to give to every searching hand. I couldn’t “feed” this multitude. But Jesus can. With your help. Praise God that they are open and willing to give Bible lessons in state schools here.

Anya, thanks for writing in English! ;) While everything was hot & dry for you all there, we had cold & snow here. It was so pretty. Today it rained all day, but nothing like the rain you had! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, & I am thankful that you all got to go on this trip, for God's protection, & for what He is doing in & through you. May He continue to keep you & bless you & your ministry!
