More literacy teachers
Ten students from two Uriay villages in Papua New Guinea are finishing a teachers’ training course so they can teach people in their villages how to read and write.
Missionaries Elias and José Struik write that the students "motivation and attitude of working together with the teachers has blown us away."
The students are practicing teaching and getting familiar with classroom procedures in the last stretch before they return to begin the literacy course in their villages.
Last week the students started their last textbook of the literacy course. Kristina, one of the female students with a heart and desire to pass on what she has learned, was visibly shaking and shivering because of nerves.
"There are those instances in life when you’re passively standing at the sideline when things happen and the only thing you can say is, ’This is something God is doing. Only He can do things like this!’ That is how we’re reflecting on our time with these ten students," the Struiks wrote.
"What is the Lord going to do in the future in the lives of the people from these villages? Will there be a similar hunger and receptiveness for the Gospel?"
Please pray that God will give them such hunger.
