March Update

Dear Friends,

We send you greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus.

Car
We thank the Lord we have a Toyota Camry. (See picture below.) It is a 2002 model and has automatic transmission and a great air-conditioner which we have been using every time we drive since it is 36C and 70% humidity some of these days. Perhaps we will have our first rain soon? We have not seen any rain since we arrived.

Mid-semester
Our mid-semester break comes up next week but we have interviews to conduct for prospective students and marking to do. It is really a break for the students not the teachers but it is a welcome change in routine for a few days.

Missions week
This week we have a series of meetings at the seminary about mission. The speaker is Stephen Baba who is the head of the EMS (Evangelical Missionary Society) – an indigenous missionary society. Only a few of our students are planning to become missionaries after their time of study and we hope these meetings will help some more catch a vision for evangelism. Debbie is speaking on prayer at the student prayer group this week also.

Internet access
The seminary has been getting internet access via satellite but the company we were with shares the same channel with so many other people, the speed is much too slow. Some web pages will not even connect. We have been trying to migrate to a different supplier but this is proving difficult. Pray it will happen, though, and soon. Thanks.

In Christ,

David and Debbie
