Some super exciting news we didnt share in the video update is we started a teachers training course (so to speak) with 5 guys and 2 ladies. This is a hands on training for us to start working with and training them to be teachers and possible evangelist for outreaches. This is super exciting to see how the Lord is going use these people to be the first Dem teachers/evangelists so please pray. The names of these people are below in the picture. These are 7 people who we prayed about for a while and felt they showed the characteristics of a teacher/evangelists and have shown growth in their spiritual walk and a desire to tell others the gospel.
The Church praying for the 5 men and 2 women who started the training to be the first Dem Bible teachers/evangelists.
Be praying for Tirinut, Erot, Ton, Tero, Petut, Joregal & Autina.
Group from our sending church that came to helpOur co-workers daughter Raquel said goodbye to Dem as she heads to the states to start Bible school and Tirinut prayed over her & familyThese are the 4 teachers that live in Dem-land now and our teaching at the new schoolNoelle love the new teacher Ibu MarlinThis is Jerichos best Dem friend Aldo. We took him out to town to get tested for TB. It was fun to take him around as he’s never been to a city before like the ocean. Jericho celebrated his bday while in town and took Aldo to ride electric bikes in the mall. lol
Many people have wanted to see our house in the jungle so here it is!!
No stump grinders or power tools to rip up trees in Dem-land. Here they are clearing land for the future location of the school.
We had another 25 baptized and had a feast and tribal dance party!!!
This went on for HOOUURRSS!!!
This is the new here in Dem-land. Friday mornings the school opens up with the kids stretching, exercise and then a short dance time to get wiggles out before starting school.
Just a clip of the new school here. They are currently using our existing church building during the week and then these dividers come down so we can meet on Sundays. They are planning on building their own building starting in the spring to use next school year.
