Nothing Much

For a change, nothing very exciting happened this week, but we still stayed plenty busy. Work continues to go forward on the air strip. Dale Crawford will be leaving us on Thursday, but we have really enjoyed his fellowship and appreciated his hard work.
 
Enrollment increased a bit in the read write school. I had to cap it at 23 as I ran out of books. We will hopefully be able to buy some more on the next town trip and get a class going for men. This class is teaching the people to read and write in Pidgin. This enables them to read the Bible for themselves -- such a blessing. The ages in the class range from upper middle-aged to young children. They all seem to be very excited about learning. Please pray for the national teacher, also named Katrin.
 
Another project that is keeping me busy is the church Christmas program. I wrote a short drama in Pidgin, describing Jesus as the perfect lamb. There are a number of teens and adults with various speaking roles. In addition, each Sunday school class will sing a song and the older ones will recite a verse. We are really praying that the Lord will bring a number of unsaved folks to the program, tentatively scheduled for December 20th.
 
Thank you so much for your prayers for the ministry here. You definitely have just as essential a role as any of us actually here on the field.
