What's the Gift?



Most of us know that the free gift of God is enternal life, but many of the kids we teach don't. I love how Michael explains to them about the free gift of God. Bible is definitely a class favorite.

Our children playing with their friends.


Here I am having music class with the prepa students.

The other day I was driving with one of the other teachers and the brakes on the car ceased to function. I was going downhill and there was a large truck in front of me. I've never had my life flash before me, but this time I really thought I might die. I looked around for things that I could crash into, maybe the truck in front of me, maybe the bus station, maybe I could drive the car into the ditch to the right. Then it occured to me I could try the emergency brake. By the grace of God I was eventurally able to come to a stop using the emergency brake. I destroyed what was left of the already failing breaks on the car and there was smoke everywhere. But we were alive. The other teacher and I sat down on the side of the road, pulled our panicked selves together and thanked God that he brought us to a safe stop.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. May God richly bless you as we serve Him together!

In His Grip,
