November Prayer Letter

This month's focus: Thankfulness!

Please check out this month's prayer letter...and thank you for your faithful prayers and support! I am very thankful to God for all He has provided! Please let me know how I can be praying for you also!

Pray for New ESL Ministries!!

With hopes of learning how to better minister to internationals in our midst, five people attended an ESL workshop over the past two Saturdays. Thanks to Friendship Baptist Church in Fort Atkinson, WI for hosting this event!

The workshop covered a number of skills including how to organize an ESL ministry, how to teach English, and most importantly, how to consistently share your faith with your students through both your words and actions. Participants quickly discovered that they do not need to speak a foreign language or be a professional teacher to teach ESL!

Jose V. shared that he has 20+ people waiting for him to get equipped so he can teach them English in the Sauk City area. He wanted to learn how to teach English, but more than that, how to share the Word of God.

Larissa G. wants to meet the needs of refugee families. "I hope to be able to help in a tangible, lasting and practical way with the Nepali-Bhutanese refugee families being relocated to Madison, WI."

Please pray for these participants, from various locations (Waunakee, Portage, Sauk City and Ft. Atkinson), as they prepare to do the work God is calling them to do. And pray for those that they will teach and share Christ with!

On November 24th, Lutheran Social Services will be hosting a grand opening celebration of their resettlement offices in Madison. Information will be shared on the current situation in Nepal, Bhutan's history and political climate, and newly arrived refugees' needs and current volunteer opportunities.
