Greetings to everyone at Cornerstone!
Having this blog spot is a great idea and I'm thankful to be invited to share what the Lord's doing out here on the west coast.
As most of you know, I'm on full time staff at Capernwray Harbour Bible Centre. My responsibilities are varied during the Bible school (which runs from Sept-May). I'm basically a Bible teacher and an administrative assistant in planning and leading the Bible School program. This includes planning the yearly teaching curriculum as well as overseeing the students' written assignments and organizing the student body into smaller "home groups". These groups of about 12 students meet every couple of weeks in staff homes where we discuss the Gospel of John together. At different times the students are also asked to prepare individual Bible studies which they then share in their home groups.
This week was one of those times and so each student shared some of the lessons they
had learned while studying a different book in the Minor Prophets. It's so amazing to watch them learn and grow as they move from wondering where in the world the book of Hosea is to discovering God's radical and transforming love contained in its pages. These are some of my favourite times of the year. The photo below is of our group relaxing together last night as we made and ate sushi together.
There's nothing like good food and fellowship when it's shared because
of the Lord Jesus!
Note:
The next big adventure on my calendar is taking 4 students with me to Burundi/Rwanda during our Spring Break to meet up with Doug (Deanna will already be back in Ontario). We plan to arrive on March 16 and stay for 2 full weeks of travel and ministry which Doug has arranged. We're excited but nervous, so if you think of it, we'd really appreciate your prayers. Thanks a lot and I'll be sure to send an update next month.
