Where We Are Today...

Mustard Seed is very close to the end of Batch 3. This morning we began week 4 of term 4. We began this batch with 10 students, the number that we can take. Over the course of the last 33 weeks 4 of our students have left the program. Each leaving was difficult for us.

It has been a blessing to the staff to watch the girls grow in their life with the Lord and develop into accomplished seamstresses. We have been talking about what they will do after graduation and how to get to that place. Some of the girls want to further their study in sewing, one wanting to become a fashion designer. Some of the students want to go to Bible school. Some want to look for a job. I am hoping that some want to continue with us in our OJT training - On The Job. It will give them more experience but out in the real world.

Post Praises:
1) The students returned after a long weekend ready to get into classes again.
2) Last week a number of students were suffering from colds. There was only one student coughing this morning. They are better or almost completely well.

Post Prayers:
1) We have new visitors on campus with us. A family from Canada. Pray that their time with us will be good. That they will get a sense of what we do here.
2) Our International Council meetings will start March 10 and last a week. Pray that these meetings will go well.

Blessings,
Barbara Burchert
