Over Half Way

Our time has been full with giving our cousins a taste of missions, teaching and mentoring 10 new teachers, planning a teaching schedule for them in Taiwan, and packing up our apartment! Whew! I’m tired just reading that last sentence.
 
To be honest this past month has been really tiring, I’ll even use the word ‘busy’ to describe what I have felt (sorry that is an inside joke for our faithful blog readers). 
As a reminder, we train people to teach the bible. We give them 3 weeks of classroom training and then take them out to teach for two months. For this particular Titus Project Ben and I will only be participating in the 3 weeks of classroom training. We are already finished week two! We helped set up the schedule for the two months of teaching here in Taiwan but our friends Rachel and Reyna will be leading the team while Ben and I head home to Winnipeg. We have our flights booked for the end of July and are so excited to be with friends and family again in the not so distant future!  
 
Our students are really great, there are 10 of them and they are working so hard to prepare themselves for being bible teachers. I’ve been so encouraged getting to know them. One of our students Rebecca just got back from leading a DTS team in Afghanistan and Pakistan, she’s amazing! Two of our other students are going to be living in Taiwan long term so this is a deeper investment for them than simply 3 months. I could write about all of our students because each of them have a story and an exciting future!
 
Even just writing this, I am again refreshed thinking about the impact we have the opportunity to make. Thank you to all who make this possible for us!
