First round of classes wrapping up

We've been blessed with fourteen students who have attended our first round of scheduled classes. Two of them have attended both classes. If all return for the final classes this week, we will have 9 completers, one of whom will get two certificates, for completing both classes. (The rest did not attend all classes, and also did not arrange for a make-up session.)

We are gearing up for our next round. We already have 7 signed up for "Acts of the Apostles" and 6 signed up for "Prophecy 101". Some of those who have been attending have indicated they plan to sign up for more. Ads will appear this week in both the community and the campus newspapers, so we hope that we'll get some additional registrations. Foot traffic into the shop is definitely down the past week or so. We hope that the upcoming advertisements will bring some more in — previous ads have definitely done so.

Meanwhile,our multi-lingual sign has generated some interest. Two of our Chinese contacts have (separately) informed us that the Chinese line is grammatically incorrect. Of course, all we had to go on was what was given by an online translation site. We'll get a corrected version printed. (Is anyone able to proof-read the Tagalog, Arabic, or Farsi for us?)  But the sign did accomplish its purpose in spite of the bad grammar. One of the contacts is having us research various Chinese versions of the Bible and intends to buy one.

Besides the scheduled classes Wednesdays & Thursdays, we've had 1 or 2 students at our drop-in Tuesday class as well. And we have one student who is regularly coming in for one-on-one classes, and another student who wants to start doing the same this coming week. We give thanks to God for all of these people. As we get to know them better, we are becoming attached to them, and we pray that the relationships will continue, and develop!
