Just keep swimming...

Week seven of lecture phase is drawing to an end. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! The last few weeks have been both powerful and somewhat challenging. The "honeymoon" phase is over and our students are really starting to feel the strain of pressing in so hard for so long. Now is when their true desire for God is coming out. They are having to decide whether or not they want to continue pursuing God whole heartedly despite the fact that they are tired, people are getting on their nerves, they're homesick, and having to deal with other distractions that life has a habit of throwing at us. We all have our bad days, but for the most part everyone has been doing an amazing job of choosing to have good attitudes and being helpful even when they don't feel like it. I am so super proud of them all! They have proven themselves to be incredible men and women of God! My heart is just bursting with love for them and I feel so blessed to be able to be their leader!

Prayer points

1. Pray that we would all continue learning what it truly means to die to ourselves and live for Christ.

2. The students (and Staff) where given the opportunity to stay in India for an extra three months to work with our English teaching ministry. Some of them have decided to stay and some are still seeking God in it. Please pray that they would have clarification on what they are supposed to do.

3. Pray for energy, motivation, and good attitudes for everyone, staff and students.

4. Pray for health. Cold season is definitely here and trying to focus and have a good attitude is ten times harder when you're sick!

Thank you all so much for your prayers! Blessings on you!

In Christ
