Nikkei ESL begins, YEA!


The ESL classes have expanded from Japanese and Peruvian students to three classes of Nikkei students. In early August, Guiilermo called and said we have a meeting with a Professional Nikkei business association. We met with them and started classes the next week. Joy teaches one beginning class and Tim teaches two advanced classes. These classes include college students and young professionals. We are excited about building these relationships and sharing the stories from the Bible in our classes.

Tim has been meeting with Jesus Loo for prayer, cultural studying and language learning. Jesus had 5 employees that within a short period of time all accepted Christ. There were two other believers at his restuarant so Jesus felt lead to start a church at his restaurant. Tim is helping with the teaching and preaches every other Sunday.

Caleb, Jacob and Luke are adjusting well. This is their second school year in Lima. It is nice to start a year and know a lot of the people. It is a lot warmer this winter. Gray has started college this fall at the University of Georgia.

Please pray that our language and cultural learning will continue!!!!! Please pray for our new Nikkei students, 13 people. Please pray for the Chifa church in Mira Flores. Please pray for our health and spiritual growth.
