today was the end of our first week for the fall season. the week was actually quite different than what we expected. things were very slow and we didn't have even close to the number of students we were anticipating. some of us have been feeling dissapointed and a bit discouraged. we spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into planning and preparing things for the students this fall and so far have been met with no more than a handful of students. most of them new. all the people we have been in relationship with over the last year are no where to be found. so far.
but our faith happens to be bigger than our plans and all our work. i am sure the enemy wants us to be dissapointed and wants nothing more than for us to feel discouraged. but he underestimates my God and how much greater one word of encouragement from Jesus is than the thousand words of discouragement he tries to throw at us. so please pray with us that we would continue to hear our Father's voice and that satan's words would have no power over us.

I have some new pictures from this last week that i am trying to post on here so hopefully those will be up within the next week.

Also, Jengish is getting baptized tomorrow and is planning on doing a DTS in january so please be praying for him that God would strengthen him to do the work that is being placed before him and that he would have the wisdom to recognize the voice of God from the voice of the world. thanks
