A glimpse of every tribe, tongue, and nation




Five sisters and I just spent the past 5 days getting trained and certified to teach English. Can you say intense!?!

Although I've taught before in NC, China, and India, I wasn't certified. Most of the time I just flew by the seat of my pants, often coming up with a lesson 20 minutes before class started.

Being officially trained has taught me so much and given me so many tools for the future. I'm excited to see how Papa will use this in the nations to ultimately draw others to Himself.

My favorite part of the training though was student teaching on Monday morning. I had a class of 12 from 9 different nations.

Japan.
Korea.
Russia.
Ukraine.
Cuba.
Haiti.
Mexico.
Afghanistan.
Vietnam.

"For You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation." (Rev 5:9)

I loved it! My heart felt like it was gonna burst out my chest!

I taught for an hour, then we had a 30 minute break, then taught for 30 minutes more.

During the break, all the classes (11 total I think) came together in one big room to eat, fellowship, and listen to a message. It was amazing to see (almost) every tribe, tongue, and nation gathered together in one room!

I love the nations even more, if that's possible :)
