Back to School

Things have been a little slow lately because it was the end of the summer. Everyone was preparing to go back to school and this past week was the first week of school. Which meant the Day Care that John and Toph started is back in full swing. It runs in the mornings from Tuesday till Friday. The target was for 10 kids but 16 have showed up and now we are going to try and keep it under 20. We want a small group so we can really invest into them and their families and also to prepare them for school. To get them knowing their alphabet, numbers and other essential things. The kids are ages 3-6 and come from the squatter areas near by. On Tuesday we had the opening ceremonies with an emcee and everything. All the mothers of the kids came and some of the Church workers too. We got everyone excited about the day care and had enough food to feed about 100 people. So many people got take home some food for supper. I will be helping out with this ministry in some areas but it won't be my focus. I am still helping with the drop-in centre, feeding program, children's and youth ministry at our Church, and still attending 2 Tagalog lessons a week but this will be my last month of Tagalog.

Thank you once again for all of your prayers and support of all kinds. It is always appreciated. May God Bless you all.
