Blessings to you in the name of our LORD!

We praise Him for your continued support in PRs and finances. We are still in the capital

of a restricted/creative access country. Our daily routine is not as routine as it once was.

Let us share about the work that He presently has us involved in. (For past activities,

please ask to see our summer newsletter). Teaching English continues to be our main

way to serve. We continue to teach a few times a week online to teachers who work at

our associate’s language center/school for children. In addition, for over a month now,

we have been involved in teaching one sole teenager based on the Classical Education

model used in the school in the south. He is the protégé for the projected school in the

north. Can you imagine Manny teaching math, biology, and history while Ruth teaching

grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension? It’s been challenging in more ways

than one! The toughest struggles are dealing with sleepiness, lack of motivation, over-

confidence, repeated mistakes after constant reminders, competing for his attention with

video games…ugh! On the other hand, he has been polite and not too argumentative

and sort of recognizes the need for His sanctification. Another endeavor with two other

teenage boys is our SS class on Sundays. What a chance we have had to pour into the

lives of these boys! If this hasn’t been enough to keep us busy, one more request was

made of us to help develop English Curriculum for IELTS to be used on AI. Oh, before

we forget, there is one more vison of our associate that we’d like to ask for your

thoughts. He has a burden for disabled children, who might be blind, deaf or be on the

spectrum and would like to set up a center. He asked us if we knew of any “C” agencies

or organizations that would partner with him in running a center for the Disabled in the

south. Do lift this up!

1. For us to teach well and B to study well. For us to gain skills in teaching Classical

Education to pass on to teachers of the centers in the north and south.

2. For developing IELTS curriculum (salted with the GN) for the use on AI.

3. For M’s developing relationship with a security guard in our apartment building.

Aloha, brothers and sisters at Calvary,

Just wanted to update you on His work here in our country of service.  It’s been about 6 months since we have returned here after a long stay back in the US due to COVID-19 restrictions.  We were finally able to get the help we needed to get a visa, work permit and temporary residence card!  We’re not teaching at a university as we had done in the past.  But we are still engaged in teaching English.  We serve under an English center which has a branch in the south.  We are here in the north, below ground 0, establishing another English center based on Classical “C” Education.  There is an ongoing search to find a suitable facility to run the center here in the north.  Our role is to teach locals to be teachers using English at the English centers. In addition to teaching, we are also studying the curriculum on Classical “C” Education. This endeavor has a long term goal of influencing a society for good by building future godly thinking citizens who will shine for Him!  We are also involved with two English clubs, one online and one in person.  We love the opportunity to share with unbelievers. We work with the support of local believers competent in English. Please do lift us up that His Will will be done:

1. For an affordable, good facility for the English center in the north and to find more dedicated qualified teachers with good English.

2.  For us to learn the Classical “C” Education materials, especially the Logic texts, and be able to teach others.

3.  For the English clubs to be a place where unbelievers will be touched and have opportunities to know, trust and love Him!

We are excited that God is opening up a way back into our country of service!  Just this week we submitted documents to the country of service's Consulate in San Francisco.  It has been a long process of getting permission to go back to teach English.  In December 2019, we returned to the US to seek a new organization to teach with.
