This month marks the beginning of our third year with the School of Ministry in San Julian. It has been a journey of ups and downs but mostly blessings. We began with lots of ideas but very little actual knowledge of what to expect. Language was obviously a challenge in the beginning since my Spanish was very limited. Over the past 2 years I used 6 different translators. Thankfully, I am now able to teach in Spanish without the use of an interpreter. The cultural differences have also been challenging. as students here normally don't ask questions and are not challenged to think critically on their own. In spite of this, we have a solid core of students who have become inquisitive, cheerful searchers of God's word and are growing tremendously in their knowledge of, and love for, God.
