It has been another wonderful week in Rwanda. Last week we told you the Minister of Education called all of the schools to begin their session one week earlier than scheduled. So we had to finish up our instruction, etc. this past

week. Well, on Thursday one of our teachers came in and said she heard it had been changed again and they would not begin classes until August 10th, like had been originally scheduled. So when our deputy administrator from one of the schools came we asked her and sure enough…the Ministerof Education had been released from her duties, a new one in place and school will begin as planned. They will use this week to get the schools ready physically and for administrative duties. We already had the Certificates of Completion printed up and dated, the graduation party planned and food ordered so we went ahead with that today. All of our teachers came to church and I know all of them were blessed, even if they don’t realize it yet. One of our teachers who is also reading 1:1 with Steve, asked about the church here and wanted to know how to become a part of the body at CCR. His phrasing was a little bit more simple as he searched for the words to express himself and voiced how different it was from anything he had ever experienced and wanted to know more about it.
We introduced a new word to them this week ‘field trip’ and took them across the street to the school where Val had

gone through about 20 boxes of books, culling out what would be of no use to them. The books were from KICS school. They had been sent to them, they took out what they could use and then shared the ‘wealth’. The teachers were thrilled and we will deliver about 10 boxes of books to Gisozi School on Thursday.
We will continue classes this week with those able to come but only 2 hours of English instruction and then 2 hours of computer instruction ( please be praying for us as some have never turned one on!). We are still offering 1:1 and nine of fourteen have chosen to continue everything.
We have truely enjoyed this new experience of teaching an 
English class. We have never done it before and it has been a blessing and a learning experience. We believe the teachers have also been blessed. And as you know, teaching English is never the prime objective of an LST project, but to introduce our readers to who Jesus is and to come to know him and the love, comfort and family being a believer has to offer. We have 
included a picture of a one on one session and also a picture of what it is truely about, a result of sharing ourselves so others will come to know who God is.
