Another Beginning

Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You.  -Psalm 119:36-

Students and Staff- Spring 2013

Dean Malispina- Director in training sharing from the word.
The second week has already begun and we are settling back into the semester routine. We have 11 students this spring... and they are ALL girls! This will make for a somewhat different atmosphere but we know the Lord has put this group specifically together for a reason. Many of the girls have grown up in Christian homes and are looking to deepen their relationship with Jesus, while others are seeking healing and truth. Be praying especially for the female side of the staff as we come alongside these young women and point them to the Lord.

James is overseeing two audio classes this time around. One of the classes is only for the Italian ladies and he is using it as a language learning opportunity- reading through their work in Italian. He has also begun working on putting together a a newly translated children's coloring book for the Sunday School (editing the pages to put in the translation etc.) which he really enjoys doing.

baby Mitchell 26 weeks
Being 27 weeks pregnant I am finding it a little more difficult to be going as much as I was last semester- especially since the quickest mode of transportation is my bike! I'm looking forward to Spring coming soon hopefully that will make walking a little bit more enjoyable. However, I'm staying involved in everything as much as I can (with just a few more naps included).

Prayer:
Pray for these lovely girls! That the Lord will simply overwhelm them with His love and grace we are so looking forward to see what the Lord does in and through them during their stay here.

aw, know how it is! praying for you. i had to (and still do have to) remind myself that the Lord chose this particular time to give us a baby, and that stepping back a bit for that is His will. it can be hard to pull back from serving a bit, but you will be serving Him in other ways! xoxo
