In April Kathy attended the MK (Missionary Kid) Caregivers Consultation in Kansas City, KS. This conference is designed to further equip those who minister to MK's. One of the values of this consultation is, "The care and development of missionary families must be intentionally planned by caregivers." Since CIT is proactive in our training of families, Kathy went to the consultation to share and gather ideas for our program. Of particular interest was why some mk's walk away from the Lord-good checklist to pass on to families.
This spring our Childcare Coordinator (ages 0-5 years) resigned and it has been a harrowing time trying to find the right person for the position.
Just last weekend, the Lord provided 2 applicants-and none too soon as the CIT summer session begins May 28. We praise the Lord for His provision of our summer staff as well. We should have a full house of 30 children-ages 2 months through 14 years. How exciting!
On a personal note we had a really nice visit with Nathan and his wife Beth in PA a few weeks ago. We saw their church where Nathan serves as Middle School Youth Pastor. We also did a one-day quickie trip to New York City - Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and got to eat in a wonderful Brazilian restaurant!
We are also enjoying having daughter Beth living at home these days. Joel is here for a few months (back from the Ukraine) and it's great to have him around as well!
Praise
1. A very helpful MK Consultation
2. Finding a childcare coordinator
Prayer
1. Special leading of the Lord for Kathy to choose between 2 wonderful applicants 2. Incorporation of the new childcare worker into our staff 3. Skill and stamina in teaching the good number of kids coming this summer
We continue to be so grateful for your prayers and support. Thank you so
much.
