Hitting the Dusty Road

5 of our Christian schools
1 new school that wants to join our association
1 church that wants to start a new school
We traversed many a long and bumpy road (thanks to all of
you who help provide for our truck!) and left town before the large government protests
started on Friday.

After seeing several good teachers and some areas in which
to improve on Monday, we drove out to another school Tuesday morning. The first
teacher I saw there made me want to just pack up and go home. He was
threatening and insulting his students; and generally displaying a horrible attitude.
I felt sick to my stomach. But I stuck with it and had a good conversation with
the teachers at lunch. As it turns out, he was a band new teacher who had never
been trained. He was just copying what his teachers had said and done to him
all his life. At first glance the situation seems hopeless, but I saw many other
teachers who used to be exactly the same who are now radically changed. We are
breaking the chain of abuse and destructive teaching, and we have some great
teachers leading kids down a new path.
Please continue to pray for our teachers, principals, and students. Pray that we would be able, through this conference, to help the teachers to better communicate, share the Gospel, and make disciples among their students.
