Praying Friends,

Praises

1. Ann Renee was "approved" for first grade and I put the deposit down for both kids for next year. I had the opportunity to see Ann Renee's test and I was impressed at how well she did, especially since it was bilingual.

2. I have been able to take a class from Columbia International University. As many, if not all, of you know I was not accepted earlier this year to the Th.M. program at Westminster due to the fact that I lacked a couple of courses. I have since enrolled at CIU where I can take those courses online. Currently I am taking a course on Old Testament Theology which has been tremendously enriching and rewarding.

3. Praise God for a relatively smooth start to our third semester. We have 122 students on campus and online and another 60 studying in our regional campuses. We had 30 new students and our largest course (that I am aware of) with 38 students in Old Testament Survey I online!

Requests

1. Today I will travel to Quito, Ecuador for meetings with AETAL (Assocation of Theological Education in Latin America). We are meeting for our continental conference and they encourage member institutions to attend (of which ESEPA is one). I will go with our director and we hope to submit our papers for accreditation this week.

2. I have been extremely busy over the course of the last month. After this trip things should slow down a little. Pray that the Lord would give me endurance and strength. Pray for Julie and the kids as I am gone. I will return late on Thursday.

Thank you for your continued prayers! We greatly appreciate you and your commitment.

Blessings,
Andrew
