"The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3
Wow! It is hard to believe we are wrapping up yet another year. This is the second year that we have sponsored ESL learning within our walls here at Mt. Olivet. This has been a wonderful opportunity to make an eternal difference. I would love to take this opportunity to thank each one of you who have given such great verbal support to this program. I wish each of you could receive the blessing of seeing eyes sparkle and heads shaking, and verbal acknowledgement when the understanding becomes real and the word or lesson is understood. The laughing, the graciousness in ways that God has given each of us to understand in our minds, hear with our ears and feel in our hearts the understanding of communication. There are many ways in which humans communicate. This is truly a fascination area of psychology. I certainly have had such a joy in being a part of this. My goal in a few years will be for one of my students to be teaching the class. It can happen. I just pray every day that as we read and study scripture at the beginning of class that God will open the minds of understanding for the students, that not only will they learn English, but they will learn about Christ and the love that has been given for each one of us! My goal for 2012 will be to continue to be an effective outreach resource for our church, demonstrate Christ-honoring character and infuse each lesson with meaningful instruction while sharing the practical gift of love in Jesus' name! I hope your Christmas is filled with unending joys! Keep watching ..... Fonda
