English Classes Stopping

This month my English Classes are coming to an end. We have been praying for the interns to raise their support to come here…they are not close to coming and will not be here by September as we had hoped. So, without me here, the English ministry is going to have to go on hold until a new intern can come and teach. My heart has been very saddened by this. We have built such strong relationships with my students and a handful are truly interested in Christianity-searching and seeking for themselves. So, I worry about “the ball being dropped”. I hate feeling like I am dropping people to the wayside. These are people that I care about and I want them to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. At the same time, I know that God’s timing is perfect and He has a plan and purpose for this ministry and each of my students. I have to trust Him. It is a cycle for me to feel defeated and not understand when things to not go the way that I see as the “perfect way”. Yet, God’s way always stands the best and is the best. So, I have given this worry, this stress, this burden in my heart to the Lord. And I have been praying about important individualized time with the people in my classes; quality time where I can share the importance of Christ with them on a one-to-one basis before I head back to the States.
