On of our teacher intern teams was sent to Asia this fall, here is a part of an update from them. Keep in mind that because of the nature of our work we cannot post explicitly the names or places where they minister.
Time is flying, more than half of the outreach is already over. Let us honestly share some ups and downs from our life here in Asia.
Down: Power cut, right when all our lap top batteries were empty.
Up: Meeting friends of friends, YWAM is like a family!
Down: Crazy, cursing driver for 9h on our way from one city to another over the mountains.
Up: Adore God‘s gorgeous creation on our 9h ride.
Up: Smetana (sour cream). Smetana makes everything good. All is well.
Up: Our teaching makes people hungry for more!
Down: Power cut. Again. Shower in the dark.
Up: Every time Nadia and Julian get to hold a cat!
Down: Nadia‘s computer cord melted. Literally.
Up: No diarrhea for quite a while now! Yay!
Up: Spending time with locals as well as missionaries.
Up: Doing a good job at teaching very spontaneously.
You see, there are more ups than downs! Life is good!
We taught 3 weeks in a underground Bible school in one city, which is actually a seminary for leaders‐to‐be. We have some new books in our repertoire now: Ephesians and Jonah. We also got to teach in a Kyrgyz church, where we had very eager students who had great testimonies to share.
Right now we are in another city. Tomorrow we will leave to teach in a village 6h from here for a week. We will teach pastors how to study the Bible inductively and have Bible studies with other people from the village. –end update–
What an amazing update – leaders and congregations in Asia say THANK YOU for sending Bible teachers!
