My New Apartment
I’m just about all settled in. All the boxes are unpacked and my pictures are hung and my plants are on the balcony. And I finally have internet! There are some minor electrical issues that need to be taken care of, but one of the men at church is going to come and take care of them for me very soon. I think Biscuit likes it too!
EET Course Offerings
A lot of my work is centered around our online school, the EET (Escuela Evangélica de Teología or Evangelical School of Theology in English). We are currently in our third year and have a total of about 60 students in our system. We average about 30 students in any given quarter. I thought you might be interested in seeing our course offerings for this academic year:
Fall quarter - Synopsis of the Old Testament I, Synopsis of the New Testament I, Principles of Biblical Interpretation, Christian Spirituality, Theology of Missions I
Winter quarter - Synopsis of the Old Testament II, Synopsis of the New Testament II, Evangelism and Discipleship, Christian Doctrine I, Theology of Missions II
Spring quarter - Synopsis of the Old Testament III, Synopsis of the New Testament III, Christian Doctrine II, Homiletics, Romans
English Students
I have added another English "student" to my regular activities. Emi and I meet on Tuesday nights twice a month. She is the girlfriend of one of our Wednesday night students, Mariano. Her English is good but she is taking courses and wanted some more practice and help with some of her class assignments. She is a delight to meet with. Please pray that God will use these meetings to further His kingdom.
This month’s quote:
“It’s a bit of a mystery what God chooses to remove from your life--and what he allows to remain. You cannot help but ask for that heartache, that nagging difficulty, to go away...But when the challenge remains--when it insists on coming along for the trip--the great question inside us swings in a new direction. Might this thing I long to be different be the actual crucible on which God chooses to shape my soul into something of beauty that perhaps only he sees? Could this disturbing interruption of my plans be the actual way God is molding my heart in some new manner? Will I let God transform me in this?”
