1) June 28th our Summer Leadership Training Institute begins!
* It looks like we will have the equivalent of 17 students with possible 12 children for the entire Institute . There are 6 only coming for the first 7 weeks and 5 coming only of the last 5 week (as they finished the first 7 weeks last year). Pray for their preparations to come/ and that God provide enough volunteers for the child care. (with 12 children from 4 nations: Belarus (do speak English), Finland, Belgium - but speak Hungarian/ German, Cyprus)
*Martha is revising the student notes for her classes on Visual Aids. Pray that this project get done on time. Pray that she also be able to finish the administrative work that needs to be done before Institute.
2) Monday, May 26th Martha will have minor surgery to remove the metal plate in her left arm. Pray for a quick recovery.
3) June 18-20 The Kilchzimmer staff will have a Retreat together for spiritual emphasis - pray that God speak to our hearts and draw us together as a team.
4) In May we had a very successful pilot training for teachers of Preschool children. Pray that as
those trained take this teaching out to others - they will give us feedback to help us see where further adaptations need to be made. Then the notes will be provided to all the countries of Europe for translation. A very capable writer, Jennifer, will be revision the texts for the USA preschool materials to be used in Europe. I am a part of a special literature checking committee; to go over what she writes and make sure it agrees with the principles we are teaching in the course. THIS IS EXCITING! and can open many doors for CEF as there has been many requests for help in reaching the preschool child in Europe.
