Update from the Schultz Family

Our summer here at CIT has been going very well. We have had a good enrollment – much better than the spring. Our fall enrollment looks strong for which we are grateful. It sure makes a difference in the budget!

We have had two work groups (adult and youth) from a church in Indiana who have built a wonderful picnic shelter for us and created a new volleyball court. We are so grateful for these volunteers who also paid for the project!

Our cook on staff and on loan from World Team is leaving at the end of the year and we really need to find another one or even a couple. Cooking usually involves mostly lunches at various times and is in many ways a part-time job. This would be a wonderful opportunity for a semi-retired couple. Know of anyone?

Our staff in the Kids Intercultural Training program has reported that two children have accepted Christ as Savior during this term!! What a blessing this is for these children and for their missionary parents! During this week Kathy had the older kids build boats from cardboard to see whose would float the longest in the CIT pool. It was a fun and learning exercise!

Because of our growth at CIT we have been experiencing some organizational growing pains, which has created some staff pressure points. George is working on some new processes and changes to further develop staff unity and effectiveness. He is also considering developing a personal council of reference to help him with perspective and helpful ideas as well as personal growth.

For Father’s Day Kathy gave George a trip up north to assist Nathan with his youth group on a camping trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The trip was filled with camping, hiking, canoeing and working with kids. It was especially meaningful to watch Nathan serve in ministry and handle a very difficult situation with maturity, passion, and skill.

Thank you for your continued involvement with us through prayer and finances as it makes this work of training missionaries possible impacting the world for Christ!
