Hans and I are enjoying our fall break. We had a very relaxing 3 day camping trip, and now we are home again. We have much we want to accomplish, people we want to spend time with, and more rest needed in order to be ready to start classes again on Monday.
A few prayer points:
- Safety for our students as they are enjoying the break... most are still in the area but a few traveled home for the week.
- Finances for our final quarter... as a school we're only about 1,000USD short of everyone having their tuition covered.
- Students are starting to make plans for after SBS. We're hoping several of them opt to do Titus Project, a 3 month outreach program that involves teaching the inductive Bible study method in different parts of Africa. We're also hoping some of them will choose to come back on staff. But we trust God with each of them and know that whatever they choose to do, these 9 months of Bible training will be a solid foundation for the rest of their lives.
- We're happy that Nick from Zimbabwe is planning on joining the Biblical Studies department after SBS. Pray that the necessary funds would be raised so he and his family will have the support they need to live here.
- I (Susan) have been missing home recently. We are so happy to be here, but can't help missing our friends and family. Several of our dearest loved ones are going through difficult times, which makes the distance feel that much greater. It's a huge lesson in trusting God with the people we love! We can't be there with them, but we know God is. We appreciate your prayers for focus (on what God has for us here), contentment, and the peace that only God can give.
Thank you for your prayers. Remember, we always love hearing from you and knowing how we can be praying for you as well!

So, can I actually comment now...?
Yahoo-it works!
Cleve here-glad to catch up on what you've been doing. The girls and I are getting on the plane tomorrow to go down to Colorado. Rod is in Hospice now, which means he probably has less than a week. Psalm has been down there for 10 days and Lael gets there the day after us. I'm looking forward to seeing them all. Saying goodbye to Rod is going to be tough, but in the midst of the sadness is great joy. Psalm 116:15.
On another note, what is the best way to send $ to the Zimbabwean family on your School? Psalm and I have been wanting to send them something for a couple months.
