Week 4: Teaching English at Bible College; Children’s Outreach at the Mango Tree Church
We arrived in Mtwara last week to meet up with the team that is teaching at the Bible College. Like I have said before, my team leaders just started a Bible College last February and this week. The last three weeks, they have been attending classes in the church of one of the board members here. They have taken courses on the Pentateuch and the Book of Acts as well as English with Janine and I.
The English class has gone very well. The first two days were fairly difficult but on Friday there was breakthrough. They seem to understand a lot more. One of the major issues is that half of the class understands some English, and the other half has no English has little to no English background. For some of the students, Swahili is their third language and the course is taught in English with Swahili translation! That’s like me trying to learn Spanish in French! Nonetheless, they are getting and God is working. Continue to pray for them though… They are all ambitious and anxious to learn though. We are all enjoying our time together.
