As any teacher anywhere knows, the end of school is bittersweet. And leaves us wondering, “Where did the time go?” This May was no exception at Doulos Discovery School. The final week of school brought Math Madness Olympics 2012! And it was madness! Team Kenya (3rd and 10th grades is pictured above). All week long students competed in math challenges based on their curriculum for the year... but in the style of Doulos, it’s done in a creative and adventurous way! Answers often had to be sent down a zipline to an awaiting team member, sprinted across a field, and even shot with a paintball gun. The bonus round included shooting a faculty member with the paintball gun. Don’t worry - with all this adventure, Doulos is first and foremost about safety and supervision! What a great week for students to celebrate all that they have learned this school year. Graduation was another joyful night of celebration on June 2nd. Glenys, our Young Life Student Leader of two years, graduated that night. She plans to attend college in the States and is praying that her funding comes through. She has been an amazing student leader and even though I will miss her tremendously, I’m so excited to see how she will be serving next.
The Third Year...
As you know, I have agreed to continue serving in the DR through Doulos and Young Life for at least another year. Many of you initially agreed to support me for two years, because that was what I initially agreed to. I do not feel released from here yet and would like to invite you to continue this journey with me. I am still in need of financial and prayer partners. Please indicate your recommitment on the included card. Thank you so much for your support over these past two years. It has been a joy and privilege to share and serve with you.
“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord.
Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy."
