Our month long training at JAARS started on Oct 2nd, so we just finished our first full week. As anticipated, there's been lots of homework and reading involved! So what have we been learning? Well, here is a sampling...
strengths finding
spiritual vitality and bible study techniques
cross cultural servanthood
impact awareness
language and cultural acquisition
field proofing our marriage
world view analysis
transitions
Even with all the work, and having to navigate new family routines, our time has been rich in His goodness! We even got a helicopter ride mixed in with all the learning :)
Being here has been such a blessing to us and we are excited to see what our Father has in store for us in the weeks ahead.
Looking forward, this week to come seems to be a hard one, with topics like " The Theology of Suffering". Extra prayers are welcome!
We miss you all dearly!!!!
