It was a great trip with some very good co-teachers. The students are especially grateful for the training, and they wish to express their appreciation to you for praying and giving. I remind them regularly of your prayer and financial support without which I would not be able to come.

I will be home for a month now and then leave again October 9 for a week of staff meetings, then 2 weeks in South Africa, and 2 weeks in Sierra Leone. We will be ‘test driving’ some tweeks to our curriculum to accommodate those whose learning preferences are more oral than written.

This is George, a great student, with an amazing story of God’s grace
shown through God’s people in the church.
Jesus, one of the pastors from my church, teaching an eager group of students.
Jesus is a natural teacher. Having him on the trip was a highlight for me.

A very common benediction used in Sierra Leone.
This is the group in Makeni reciting the same benediction.

It is a 3 hour drive or a 45 minute ferry ride.
The ferry makes 4 round trips every day. The picture below shows vehicles and people exiting the ferry.
Group discussion: what are some similarities and differences between the Tower of Babel
and the call of Abraham in Genesis 11 and 12?
The students taught me a stretching exercise that they learn in primary school.
It was a fun break from the classroom.

My new grandson, unit #7, born two days before I returned home. He does have a real name,
but I like unit #7.

Thanks for looking, and reading, and giving. Our account balance is much healthier now. Additionally, I have seen great progress in the students since we began the training.

  1. Praise God! These updates are always such a blessing to us. Thank you for sharing! I was especially blessed by George’s video and of course, Unit #7. Congrats! Love, the Ruhls
