August update
Hey, everyone!
First up, we have our student testimony! This is one about Pita, one of our friends we met at NCTC a couple years ago, or as we like to call it "eensy teensy" because it really is so small and self contained. Please take a moment to read her touching testimony and learn more about the people our ministry has had the pleasure of being with.
Staff Retreat:
Every August and January, our entire staff of around 40+ people get together for a few days to get to know one another more deeply, to pray over the coming year and for our campuses, and to have fun. I feel very lucky to serve on a staff where many of these people are my close friends and people that have shown me that care about me and the people in our ministry. It's a time of reflection before the breakneck pace of the school year starts, and honestly it's a time that is anointed by the Lord.
Apprentices:
This year, we have 12 new apprentices! For those of you who have been with me since day one, you will remember I was on an apprentice team that was only 7 people. For those of you who are new to supporting me, we have a 10 month apprenticeship that is offered as a possibility to our graduates. During these 10 months, 25 of your weekly hours are dedicated to learning about theology, reading the whole bible, taking different ministry specific classes, and having access to some of our church leaders who have much more wisdom than the average ministry bear. The other 25 hours are dedicated to hands on ministry. Though the apprentices aren't senior staff, they are on our staff. They aren't running around making copies or getting coffee! Please be praying for our apprentice newbies! Here's a cute picture of them!
Thank you so much for all that you do to support our ministry!
