Week 16
This was our last week here in Ecuador before our Christmas break. On Sunday the students put on a Christmas program for two local churches. The first service in the morning was in English and the second (in the evening) was in Spanish. The services included drama, choir, small group ensembles, and puppets. Both services went very well. The students spent most of their free time during the rest of the week studying for mid-term exams and finishing up projects.
We also had Christmas parties at all of the ministry sites. We gave out food and candy and other treats along with playing games and having a special Christmas puppet show. We had a Secret Santa gift exchange this week amongst the students and deans.
All but three of our students will be traveling back to their homes in the United States and Canada over this weekend. The other three are staying with family and friends here in Ecuador. They will be away for the next three weeks getting rest and eating their mom’s food. These postings will also be suspended for the next three weeks. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos please check out the CBC website at www.covenantbiblecollege.com.
I would like to thank all of you that have been faithfully praying for us, you prayers are greatly appreciated. A couple of recent praises: all of our students were able to get their paperwork taken care of to be able to leave and return to Ecuador; Greta Espe is recovering quickly and doing very well. Also, thank you for commenting it has been very helpful. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Come back and check us out in 2007!
