Living Water

thank you so much for your prayers for teacher training!  

primary school teachers from all over mundri attended their 3rd and final phase of training with us.  i was so excited to see their faces again!  they were eager to learn, participate, and offer feedback, and our interactions just seemed more comfortable.  

we focused the week on a theme of water, a subject that seemed more than appropriate when considering our moru community.  we taught on Christ as our Living Water, that we are "like trees planted along a stream, bearing fruit..."  heidi gave a health lesson about the importance of water for our physical bodies.  john even shared an engineer's perspective with us and lectured on boreholes and how they work.  they soaked it up!  we read through a story of the water cycle that took us around the world.  and they marveled at pictures of snow capped mountains and frozen rivers in switzerland.  

the teachers worked together in groups, sharing ideas, creating lesson plans, and dramas (always my favorite).

i was thankful for the relationships we have established through these trainings and the tangible reminders of the work God is doing here.  jennifer, bethany, and i walked away feeling encouraged. and we're hopeful for how God will use these teachers in their community.

continue to pray for these teachers and the weighty task of being an educator in south sudan.  pray for perseverance and for the Spirit to be working through them, setting them apart for His glory.
