Testing times

Every morning except Sunday we have a time of devotions at the Healing Home that includes a 20-minute or so Bible-based teaching followed by prayer. Friday mornings are a little different - first we have 'staff training' - around 45 minutes of teaching.

Over the last five Friday's I have been on a mission to help our staff navigate God's Word by learning the books of the Bible. I noticed that some were hunting in Genesis for John's gospel, or checking out Psalms in their hunt to find Ephesians. So, we did the two hands thing; learn OT and NT by their five sections and then fit the pieces together.

Dtouch, Neth and Sopheap with their heads down. Neth is our weekend cook. In addition, she has become our 'on call' staff girl as well as covering two nights per week. She has a gorgeous 3-year-old son. Her husband did a runner with a lady from his work 18 months ago, totally gutting her. She is super capable and caring - and we're very keen that she comes on full time when we get a second Healing Home.

With every test, there must be a reward! Sreymom has developed an appetite for the trusty chocolate brownie so Sue did a bit of cooking.

Friday was The Official Test Day. The results were just excellent - well above my expectations. We scored by one tick for each correct Bible book; two ticks for right book, right order - then crunched numbers for percentages. Our lowest came in at 82%; then an 86%, a 92.5% and two 100% perfect. We are proud of our team!!
