God Provides


 We have a really good friend who always asks us what our theme for the new year is going to be. Although she isn't near us this year to ask, we found ourselves thinking about it. 


God provides.


When we look back at the past year, we are in awe of all that God has provided. He is a mighty and caring God who desires to have relationship with each and every one of His children. 

In the past week we found ourselves struggling with trusting in God. In all honesty, our first reaction was to go anywhere but to God. After reflecting, it was made clear that there was no reason to not trust. He has been in every little detail and guiding every step. 

Since the last update, so much has happened. Like we said, God provides! Because so much has happened we wanted to give you the bullet point list:

  • God provided a wonderful car in the perfect timing (we had school the next day)
    Egbert and Pastor Danny finalizing the purchase of the car.

  • God provided amazing people to guide us through the process of opening up a bank account
  • God provided an awesome landlord, apartment, and all that was needed to furnish the apartment
  • God has provided great friends and community
  • God provided the ability for school to start on the 11th of January with most staff in country
  • God provided a time for some rest and relaxation up in the mountains
  • God provided an incredible and hard working visa team. Our visas will be submitted to be finalized next week
With second semester just around the corner, and days filled with Professional Development and preparations, the High School Department came up with 2 words that described our goals for this second semester. 

Connected: The goal is to stay as connected with the students as possible. This school year is different and difficult, but it is still a school year in the student's lives, and we want to be connected and intentional with building relationships and educating. Connected also stands for our vertical connection with God, building relationship and continuously getting to know Him better. No matter what is thrown at us, we know that this is God's ministry and He will guide.

Still: Yes, we are still virtual learning, still in this odd time, and still trying to figure things out. But we are also still able to be a part of the student's lives, still able to show Christ, still able to guide, still able to interact, and still able to teach. Most importantly, God can still have impact. How great is it that God has provided all of these 'stills'?


Praises
God has provided in so many ways this past month!
Second semester starts on Monday the 11th.

Prayer Requests
For the students and staff that are diving into second semester of virtual learning.
For God to provide new partnerships.
