God, Who is never late and seldom early, came through with part 1 of the Stepping Stones answer yesterday. We had set Monday January 14 as the deadline to communicate with parents of the little students in regards to keeping the school open or not. Monday morning arrives - and an email to say the lady we were looking to is holding her course - to Africa. Great! So, I have written to the parents advising them that the school will be closing.
Meanwhile we have been in contact with Bophal from the orphanage. Today we will take two tuk-tuk loads of 10-12 of her pre-schoolers to play on green grass and in sand - and to do some learning stuff. Bophal was just shining excitement over the offer. We'll see where this leads to. I only learned yesterday that she is actually a trained pre-school teacher who has trained others to teach little ones. All very interesting ... and we remain confident that God has the very best plan for the Stepping Stones facility.
I have taken on a new teaching class at church on Sunday mornings. I'm teaching a great group of 25-30 young ones; cross-legged on the floor of an office for an hour. I arise like a wobbly old fella - but love the opportunity to input thru' this discipling course. It is 10 weeks long - I'll get to teach up to week 7 before heading Down Under, Aussie, then NZ wedding bound.
Our visitors are thriving. Julia is leading a class at Stepping Stones this morning. Andrew and Ruth have a day with World Vision, visiting their sponsored child and family and seeing various projects that WV are involved in. Tomorrow they will spend additional time with Hagar.
Hitting the road - Andrew and Ruth out and about today with World Vision. World Vision have a brilliant team in this nation and do exceedingly well in their projects, staff raising and Christian discipling.
