The English Classes

God has been so kind to me in giving me a place teaching English to ladies as a ministry of our church here in London. There's a wonderful team of involved and I feel privileged to be one of them. We have four levels of classes from the very beginners to an advanced class. I've been teaching the very beginners. It's great to be involved in the lives of these ladies at a time when they are feeling very vulnerable and alone. We desire to represent the Lord well to these ladies, being Jesus's hands and feet as we love them and come alongside of them. Having learned Kikamba when we first went to Kenya, I know how hard it can be to not be able to communicate so I want to be a friend and help as I can. Here's a picture of most of my class. Three aren't in the picture. The ladies come from Iraq, Sri Lanka, India, Poland, Syria. Malaysia, Somolia. We have lots of fun together just learning the basics of English. I do pray God gives me the privilege of seeing some of them come to know Him--some already do!

We're having a BBQ this Friday for the classes and their families and friends and are hoping for about 100 to come. We've been having 39 ladies coming to class each week. A friend will be presenting the Gospel in a very simple way. I'll add some pictures after it is all over. PRAY!
