Teaching at Toko Koopman!

Hi!!!!!!!! I have found a small internet cafe so will have a bit more access now! How are you all? Teaching is going well and I am really enjoying getting to know the staff and the children. They are all so friendly and go out of their way to speak English to me.

Something really encouraging happened on Thursday. I was telling my class some Bible stories. At the end a girl came to me and said that she believed everything I was saying. I was surprised because earlier in the week she had told me some other really sad things that had happened to her so out of everyone I thought she may find it hard to accept. I asked her why she believed and she said she couldn't explain it but as she heard the stories something was happening in her heart!

These children have all had to deal with alot of death in their young lives yet there is so much potential and hope for each of them. Please pray that I can help them see a future and draw them closer to God.

My host family are great. I really get on so well with them! Will send a newsletter and photos soon!

Keep in touch

Catherine
