This afternoon was our final workshop for the week. Dale did a “Shepherding” for parents from the Presbyterian churches here in Acapulco. There were close to 70 parents who came, and we also had people doing a children’s program and nursery during the three hour session.

“The Elephant in the Classroom?” Think seriously of biblical Christianity: faith alone in Christ alone, by grace alone. Now think of every religion, belief system, or ideology you can imagine. Do not forget atheism and humanism. What do all...
COFFEE and MORE Coffee and talking PS78Teachers! That sums up our Monday through Wednesday! The first coffee--talk was with MINTS--Ethiopia director Solomon. It is one thing to talk about a partnership; it is quite another to work through all the details....
Biblical Integration in Education Workshop in Hawassa Saturday: Our day began with a 5:30 van ride to the airport for a short flight from Addis Ababa to Hawassa. The airport in Hawassa was surprisingly nice, but when we walked outside to meet our driver and saw the...

This was our “office” last Saturday. Nice! Carla spent the day catching up and grading student work while Quentin finished up his preparations for teaching “Christian School Administration in Africa” at ARTS this week. We worshipped with New City Mission Church on...
