Conversational English Class!

Tonight was a refreshing night. Our church, Hope Fellowship, is hoping to partner with a nearby apartment complex in providing various community services. One of those is - drumroll please - English language help! Yeaaaa! So after praying over this opportunity and meeting with our community outreach guy at church, I decided to help out for two weeks with their new English Conversational Class. It was so much fun! Other than showing up and having the coordinator ask what I wanted to do with the night (let's just say, I was thinking, "What? I was supposed to prepare something?!"), it was a wonderful time to be with internationals who desire to improve their English skills. (And the coordinator, Scott, did end up facilitating the time. *sigh of relief*) Barely over a year ago, I returned to Michigan from a month in Denver carrying with me my TEFL Certificate and wondering how God would use me in the years ahead. Hopefully, this is one of those answers. On my way home from the class, I felt God giving me passion and vision for how He can use me, Greg, and our church in the lives of these people and their families. Oh that they would know the God of Glory... That they would live lives of wholistic worship to the King... I love what God is doing in Boston!

I haven't committed to leading this conversational class yet, but it sure seems God is leading me to that. I'll facilitate the time next Wednesday evening; I'd love your prayers for Greg & me as we make this decision.
