The small tribal school that is up in the mountains with 140 students doesn’t have enough teachers and one teacher has to teach several subjects. English is being taught by showing videos. It seems like a very typical tribal school up in the mountains, but we believe that God has a special plan for this school!
Last August the teacher came to us with the request to teach in that school, but we said that we don’t have enough teachers who can go there and teach. A few days later we received a message from two young ladies. They said that they would like to come for one week and help in the ministry. We saw it as the answer to this need and planned a three-day camp at that school. It was such a blessed time, without any rain, during a rainy season, and at the end the teachers told all the students: “We didn’t have anyone to teach English in our school, but God heard and sent us these people who organized a camp for us”
And the principal said: Please come and teach our students about your God! These children come from poor families and by their believe they need to bring sacrifices, which make them suffer a lot, please teach them about God and how to live for Him!” This principle and teacher, who is a very strong Buddhist, is inviting us to teach about God in their school!
It is such a great opportunity, but we don’t have people who could do it! After that there was a school break and as a new semester was about to start, we thought again, how can we help: “Lord, but we don’t have enough people!” two days later I received a message from a young girl who said, “I just finished my school program and have two months to come and help in the ministry” Wow! That was the answer, these were exactly the two months before New Year! Even those it took her some time to come at the beginning of the month, God provided a team of young people who came spontaneously for two weeks, exactly for these two weeks that Irina needed for her preparations! God is great! We started teaching in this school by faith, that God will continue to bring people to continue the work! We have two days a week, where we teach English and one-hour Bible lesson for students with their teachers. Isn’t this great?
God’s work is great, and we invite you to join us, we are in need of a teacher for January and February, as it would be the end of the school year. Please if you can come and be a part of God’s work, or you can tell someone else who can come and maybe help financially for somebody to come. Or maybe you can pray that God would provide a person, this would make a big difference and bring glory to God! We also have a need for a teacher for our new school year May-July 2020. If you can speak English and have a big heart to serve the Lord, you are the right person!
Many blessings to you!
