Had a great time today. In the course of looking at the life of Nehemiah, we talked about what moved him to action, what was his “burden”. I then asked the students to share what their hopes are for the future. After some coaxing, five of them finally spoke up. Their answered were: to work with street kids: to run an orphanage (the young lady who said this grew up in an orphanage): to prepare missionaries for missions work in difficult areas of the world: to be a pastor: to teach the Bible. What was so good about it all is that each is deeply serious about doing these things in the future. Hearing them gave me hope for the future of the church and hope for the wares of the world where they will be.
I’m now getting ready for tomorrow’s class. It is beautiful and mild here.
By the way, if there are typos in my posts, realize that until we fix the website, I cannot see the text I am writing!

Good to hear you arrived safely! I hope that each of the students will pray about their desires to serve the Lord. Very exciting! I’m praying for you, man.
Thankful you arrived safely. The girl that answered she wants to run an orphanage touched our hearts. God bless her and her future work. Thanks for blogging.
