Hello, my friends!
Last Saturday, we had our 3rd Annual English
Celebration Night with our English classes. It was wonderful to see everyone together and
to hear the students share their experiences with English IN
English. Nayara and I were full of joy
and yes pride for the students and their work.
We were blessed as the students shared about fulfilling a
life dream of learning and speaking English.
Many of them talked about using English in their future profession. Some of the students who were among our timid
ones surprised us with how they came up and “owned” the stage and shared with
confidence and boldness!
We were encouraged when they shared about how our classes
were not just about English but also about life, relationships and about
spiritual things. They shared that
through the experiences in the class, they learned how to be a better family member,
professional and friendly.
It was a delightful evening. Leoni
Almada de Abreu shared via video. One of
our students sang beautifully and Nayara and I were surprised with a special
gift from our Wednesday class. We were
so happy to see more parents come and watch their son/daughter receive their
certificate and share.
It is such an honor for Nayara and me to share in this
work. Thank you for your partnership
with this ministry! I will be uploading
the pictures so you can see the faces of the people that you have ministered to
this year.
Next week, Nayara and I will be headed to Belo Horizonte
for Christmas with family and friends. It
is a welcome break from a full year. From our home here in Brazil to yours, we pray
God’s blessing upon you and your family as we celebrate Jesus!
God bless,
Lisa
