I am humbled and so thankful that God would use me in Thiangrial, not only to teach English but also to share His Word, to help them grow in their understanding of who He is, and to strengthen them to equip them to go out. It has been an honor to be there.

February was packed with student review in preparation for the National Final, the giving of the test, grading, and preparing the celebration for graduation. God gave us the strength that we needed everyday to do the things that needed to be done. He also enabled us to teach the students. It is only by His grace, His strength, His mercy.

God has blessed us by letting us hear the testimonies of so many, and hearing those I thank God that any of these students are still able to learn. Our verse that we stood on was

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13
So join us in giving praise and thanks to our Lord and Savior for these students. First Accelerated Learning Program (ALP), Basic Education Learning Center (BELC) graduating class, February 2009.

Graduation was a time of honoring God for all that He enabled us to do (teachers and students), and honoring the students for their achievements, students that range in age from 17 to 43. It was truly a time of celebration, To God be all the glory. Please pray for the students as they make decisions for their future. Pray that they will seek God and ask for His Will.

The Commissioner sent a representative from his office and they have committed to paying the first years tuition for up to 14 students to attend Secondary School. This was an answer to prayer.
