Week 2 consisted of our English workshop, a 5-day seminar for English students at the nearby university. We had 8 other volunteer teachers from the US and around 180 university students in attendance who we split into groups. I had 13 sophomore girls and it was so cool to teach them, ask them questions and hang out with my and others' groups after class! We are excited to have made a lot of friends through this workshop that we hope to continue meeting with until the end of the summer.
This week and the weeks remaining will be dedicated to seeking out our friends from the workshop, getting to know them better, teaching Book stories and building relationships with the hope of leading them to Jesus Christ. Already we have seen so much receptivity and we are so excited to see what He will do in the upcoming days and weeks. The people here are amazing and beautiful and sweet and so, so lost, and our desire is that their eyes would be opened and that they would come to know the Truth. More specifically, some of people I have developed a strong friendship with do not understand the depravity of their human nature and their need for the Father. Local churches have given them false hope that is so heart breaking.
I am so excited to see how He works in the next few weeks and am sure that His will will be done, in my group, in our national friends, and in my own heart. Thank you all for your continued support through prayer, I am so thankful for it. We cannot survive without it!!
