The end of the semester at SBS was crazy. Seven out of nine students graduated from the Intensive English Centre (IEC) into the mainstream classroom. I am very thankful that the IEC initiative was a success, and these students were able to participate. God is good!
Doug and I have improved considerably, but he is still coughing a bit, and I am still struggling with back pain occasionally. We covet your prayers for our health.
We are on holiday, although I have a lot of documents to prepare to transfer my visa to the new school. I have also started going to Cedar International School to discuss curriculum needs. Cedar is a Chinese Christian school that opened a year ago, aiming to serve the Christian community from China. The owners are two Chinese Christian ladies who have a big heart but little knowledge about education. One of them is married to a pastor who also started Bethlehem church in Chiang Mai. We will have a Bible study training for seven teachers in the next few days to prepare them to teach the Community Bible Study (CBS) program in the classroom from Kindergarten to secondary school. I will be teaching the Bible to teachers starting in August. God is good!
God richly bless you and SCCEFC!
Katia, for the Flowers
Doug – 我在沙省北部教书时，透过宣教士家庭和基督教教师的影响而接触基督。我原本是天主教徒，所以我花了半年多的时间才了解福音和我对救主的需要。 在1989 年复活节早上，我接受了基督。完成教学合约后，我进入Prairie Bible Institute 学院, 学习更多关于宣教和如何成为基督教教师。我和我的妻子Katia在Prairie 相识并结婚。
Katia- 我的母亲和阿姨在我在巴西上大学时带领我归主。我一直经历很多痛苦，所以我的阿姨邀请我去参与她在郊外的教会。我接受了耶稣并开始祈祷和禁食。几周后，我回到阿姨的小镇，牧师为我祷告。第二天醒来时，我所有的痛苦都消失了，我意识到福音派信仰是真实的，并决定寻求它。
Doug和Katia相识后，我们便为到要加入哪个宣教机构以及去哪里开始寻求主。祂一步步带领我们，我们很荣幸能够在过去的28年里一直在亚洲事奉上帝。
