Dear Framily,
This was a huge week for our students who were kept busy
every waking minute. The team from MNU brought lots of energy to the campus,
along with Theater Camp, Vocabulary Games, Basketball Camp and evening
activities.
On Thursday we had a Baptism. We enjoyed a typical Arizona
sun and wind combination as we surrounded the children in the “pool” on our
cross-sentineled hill. Seven students confessed Christ and vowed to follow and
obey Jesus. Two were Roger’s students, and two were mine. Though we have a
sense of isolation here, we could hear and see trucks on Interstate 40. It
reminded us that we, and these students, must leave this refuge and live for
Jesus wherever we go. For some of these children, this is an extremely tall order,
as they will be bombarded by all kinds of evil when they go to their homes. We
pray especially for our four that were baptized because we know how they
waffled on their beliefs and wavered in their commitment to follow God’s Word
all year. We pray that this baptism was a very meaningful and life-changing
moment in their young lives.
The Promotion Program on Friday was also memorable. We
enjoyed the rehearsal because we were able to award each child in our classes
with some type of recognition. In the evening, we only presented a very
important award such as straight A – honor roll or One who displayed the
Character of Christ. The program was mostly devoted to the Graduation of the
eighth graders, which went smoothly. All of the eighth graders gave a little
speech, and their teacher wrapped up the year wonderfully.
As for us, we are on the Internet daily looking for jobs or
areas of ministry where God might have us go. Thank you for you prayers on our
behalf.
We love you all.
