Answer to prayer

For anyone that gets our newsletter you probably saw where we were asking for volunteers to come out for the summer and help with Summer School with the kids at HHCH. I taught it last year (as well as our interns) but with baby number 4 due June 1st, I just don't think I'm going to have time this year. Most of our kids are far behind in school so we want to keep their schooling going on through the break. Plus we'll probably have some new children by then who have never been to school so it will be back to basics again.

Well, we just got an email from some good friends that are missionaries in Ghana. They are third generation missionaries that run A.C.E (Accelerated Christian Education) schools there. Jeremiah, the husband, stayed with us about 6 months ago as they are interested in starting a school here too. They are seriously thinking of moving out here in a few years. Well, they just wrote and said they will be coming out for the month of August to teach the summer school (plus spy out the land a little bit too). It is such an answer to prayer as they are already familiar with the African culture and the ways children are taught here, they speak Pidgin fluently and of course they work with a school so they'll be great teachers.

We have had a few other people contact us who are also interested in coming out for the summer (one is a follower of this blog, hint hint, nudge nudge!) and this does not mean you can't come out. We still need teachers for the month of July and even if you could only come out for August we could still definitely use you so keep praying and thinking about it.

Summer school last year, learning the alphabet.
