Hello everyone! This has been our best day yet! We spent the whole day at Agape supervising exams, marking exams, teaching music and visiting with the children. The best part is being with them!!! They are so inquisitive about so many subjects, and we LOVE sharing with them.
 This was the first exam in the new Science Lab! We were glad we weren’t the ones taking the exam! Learn & Serve: March Madness!While the world is gearing up for NBA March Madness 2013, the Learn & Serve staff is ready to hit the court for one of our busiest months of the year! March brings many groups to SIFAT’s campus for a variety of programs. L&S currently has more than 15 events scheduled next month with an estimated 750 participants coming to our campus during Spring 2013! Groups will be participating in a variety of L&S programs, as well as using our facilities for their own retreats. We also have several groups coming specifically to volunteer their time to help improve our campus through work projects. Please be in prayer for these participants as they come to SIFAT for their retreats. Pray they will feel the Lord’s presence and learn the lessons he has for them here. Also be in prayer for our staff as they prepare for the busiest weeks of the year. Pray for their energy and hearts as they attempt to share God’s love with all those who come to our campus. Are you coming to SIFAT for a retreat next month? Let us know! Comment on our blog, tweet at us, or visit our Facebook page and tell us why you are excited to come to SIFAT!

We had such a blessed day today at Agape! Glen was able to preach the sermon concerning following Christ as His disciple. He was truly used by the Lord to communicate the call on all of our lives to share the Gospel with everyone.  Glen preached the sermon at church under the tent!

What a fabulous day at Agape Christian Academy! We taught from 9 to 5 with only a break for lunch. Four Bible classes and a music class! We are teaching from Experiencing God, instructing the students how to know when God speaks and directs us. We continue to teach vocabulary daily as we see that what we THINK they know, they don’t know! Speaking English here is like us speaking Spanish in Cuba.

Tuesday, 2/26: Today we taught in S-1 and S-2 classes for Bible. There are many new students in these classes, and we were so thankful to be able to teach them! We taught from Romans 3, 5, and 6, trying to present a clear plan of salvation. We discovered that words that we easily understand have different meanings to them. For example, demonstrate meant a rebellion to the law. When in the context that we were teaching, it means shows or proves! WOW! What a confusing thing for them! But that is what we need to understand in order to teach them correctly. They are so eager to learn, so attentive and respectful.  Having visiting Americans teach is exciting for the students! Glen leads a Bible class, while Marie teaches music. |
