I'm Off Again!

“HE FILLS MY LIFE WITH GOOD THINGS, SO THAT I STAY YOUNG AND STRONG LIKE AN EAGLE”

PSALMS 103:5

I want to give you a quick update on what is happening in my life and at Grace English School!

Summer is ending, although recently it was 115 here in Lodi, CA. but the calendar tells me it will soon be fall and cooler weather is on the way. It was a busy summer for me, we moved back to Lodi this summer and began adjusting to our new home and getting used to our new surroundings. I went to visit my friend in GA for a few weeks. We took time to go to KY to visit the Ark Encounter. What an amazing time that was, I highly recommend it!

Sunday, September 18, I will head back to India again. I was there for a month in March, but now I will be staying until the first of December. I am blessed that the Lord has kept me healthy and strong enough to continue to travel. It is an exhausting trip, but worth it when I get to see everyone and serve at the school again!!

Grace English School is back in session!!! This past week the children celebrated National Teachers Day in India. They had a wonderful day celebrating the teachers with a wonderful program and gifts. I am always happy to see our children learning and sharing the love of Jesus with the community. We are always happy to have an opportunity to invite the parents to come. Please pray for the hearts of those who come to see the Lord’s light shining through the children and teachers as they present their programs.

As I have mentioned before we are adding 6th, 7th and 8th grade to the school. This requires a building program to increase our classrooms. Our church in Lodi is preparing to have a special offering September 25th to help with the building cost. If you feel the Lord leading you to help with the building project, we would be blessed. We estimate a 40,000 project ahead of us. Four new classrooms will be added to the first floor chapel. (the chapel is on the left side of this building) I know it seems like a simple building and it is, but this is how most buildings are constructed and are actually very efficient and cost affective.

PRAISES:

1. The school is doing great!!!

2. The Lord has kept me strong and healthy so I can return to India.

3. The Lord continues to supply ALL the needs at the school.

4. Thankful for everyone who continues to lift the school and me up in prayer. We could not do this ministry without each of you.

5. I thank God daily for each of you who generously support the school and myself finically.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. For wisdom and direction as we begin our building program.

2. For a generous offering for our building campaign.

3. For everything to go smooth as I travel since I will be making this trip alone.

4. That all goes smooth when go through immigration in India and all my luggage arrives with me.

5. For my continued support each month.

6. For wisdom for the board, we start this next step at the school, adding the extended grades and the building program.
