John’s Blog | Happy New Year

January 24, 2012 Filed Under: John's Newsletter, Newsletters, Newsletters | Thailand

Happy New Year and may you be blessed throughout it. It seems like my days now only have 12 hours in them instead of 24. It has been a month or so since the last news went out. We closed out the year with a bang; first Christmas on December 25 and then the Genesis 12:1 team arrived on December 29 and were here, most of them, until yesterday, January 17. We hosted a hundred or so youth on January 7; celebrated Children’s Day on January 13 and 14; hosted the combined churches meeting on January 15 – about 150 people were present to celebrate and give the Genesis 12:1 team.  During their visit here we visited several of the churches we cooperate with; taught English in a nursery and a high school; got most of the church buildings and the wall a fresh painting; got our sound equipment upgraded and I probably spoke more English during the last three weeks than all of last year.

We have one English Camp on January 21 and will have two in February. In addition we have a team coming in from Face2Faith to conduct a seminar on leadership February 18-24. Please pray for this because I am going to have to be doing the translating and I need your prayers. 🙂 In between all of this, I am currently teaching 4 English classes – I have a beginning class, and advanced high school class, a first year university class and a second year university class. Pray for these university students – they are all English majors and want to be English teachers.

We will be conducting our annual business meeting this month also so pray for that.
