December 2007



Praise God for a lovely end of year show by the students on 20th November. They presented songs, dances and short plays suitable for early years children and they all did a fantastic job. The photo shows the second year students finishing their play about a duck with a song.

Praise the Lord for a wonderful visit by the play scheme to Quyquyho, a village 3 hours drive away from Asunción. The children in the countryside are particularly poor and needy in so many ways. We went to support the work of a couple who provide a free canteen for 100 children every day. The children were excited to have the opportunity to play with so many toys, and they behaved themselves very well indeed. The photo shows the 80 children watching the puppet sketch we did before the play time.


Last year's third year students, who could not graduate because they had not paid all their fees, have finally all paid what they owed. Praise the Lord indeed!! This means that they will graduate with the current third years on 11th December.

Please pray for the thanksgiving service for the third years on 10th December. Pray for those who will be leading the service and that the girls will be blessed by it. Please pray for them as they begin a new stage in their lives, for God's love to shine through them on the children they teach, that lives might truly be transformed as a result.

The first and second year students are in the middle of exams as we write this. Please pray for them all to find the time to revise and the clarity of thought to bring it all to mind in the exam.

Please pray for the publicity which is being organised for both the three-year Diploma and the five-year Degree course. Please pray that students would be drawn to both courses and the right students would apply.

Finally, please pray for a restful break for all FEISA staff during the long summer holiday. The next prayer letter will be sent out in February.
