for the record…

Our week is full… we are teaching reading, science and will begin livelihood skills training to a deaf class in a public elementary school… we teach there three times a week and on Saturday we have chess club (The Roaring Rooks)… on Wednesdays, Mindy is teaching sign language to six workers in the compassion ministries of the church we attend and we have a Deaf Prayer and Bible Study Fellowship in the evening… Mindy is homeschoolong our two kids, 6 and 4 years old, (which next year I’ll be helping to teach them as well)… I am preparing a formal Christian Chess curriculum, preparing a study Bible for the deaf for publication, as well as preparing the way for the livelihood skills training to happen…

All this on top of helping to organize a monthly Deaf Pastors meeting in Mindanao, Book of Hope outreaches for the Deaf, various outreach opportunities as they happen (the “Doulos Week” just past for an example), organizing a medical outreach with local doctors, praying for God’s leading in starting a youth outreach center in Lahug as a venue for Deaf chess and helping the Deaf earn an income there, plus, looking at expanding our Deaf scholastic chess instruction to the highschool level in light of the fact that the Departartment of Education has now included chess as integral to the regular curriculum…
AND finding time in the midst of it all for our family…

Plus praying for workers in the harvest field!

Our days are full to the brim… we may lack “style” as someone told me yesterday, but what we lack in style, we make up for in substance by the Grace of God.
