Dear Pastor and Church,                                   July - September 2009
  These last three months we have spent a lot of time with the institute. We want to get Ahjew and Jakue graduated by the end of 2010. We are in the process of teaching Systematic Theology one week a month. We did the same thing with Bible Doctrine. We have found this the best approach with Ahjew who has no formal education. We can teach three topics or chapters and have him test one a week before we start the next section. Other classes are done as a block course covering the whole class in a week as we did with Revelation in September. Minor Prophets was done the same way except teaching it as a two block course with two months in between. The block classes allow us to bring in students from other churches as we have our regular classes. We are also working with a few missionaries to get the entire curriculum done for the Bible institute. I am working on the Minor Prophets (organized and in notebook form) and upgrade the Life of Christ material.

The work in My-suk-san continues to grow. Since the building dedication in June Pra-doe and Pan has had the opportunity to lead three people to Christ: Na-bu is somewhere in her thirties (not sure what year she was born) and two young men (teens), Som-chai and Chat-thai. Please be in prayer for these new Christians as they live in an animist society. Also remember Pan in your prayers as she is 4 months pregnant with their first child. The 2 mile dirt road out of the village turns to mud this time of year. They have to travel once a month on the motorcycle for her monthly check-ups.

We do appreciate all your prayers and support.
