classes:
o There will be four morning
classes. One will be chapel, and one
will be PE.
o That leaves two open slots for
morning classes.
o We did not discuss high school
classes, only k-8th.
o All classes will be taught by a
parent volunteer or will be a co-op.
o 7-8th grade ideas
§ A World View Class—One possible
curriculum is Starting Points. Angela
d. is willing to teach if necessary.
This may be a good class to have some of the dads involved in teaching. Vatche? Brian?....

photography (Karitza?) , history, science, art, Spanish 3 (Karitza?), life
skills, book club, geography.

to teach this.
§ Class ideas hat need a teacher: math
games/Latin roots (prepared curriculum), science club,
o 3-4th grade ideas
§ Apologia’s Flying Creatures of the
Fifth Day (outside coop). Angela d. is considering having an outside coop which will meet the first Tuesday
of each month and will take field trips to study the flying creatures studied
in this Apologia course.

o Choir (6th-high
school)—Joy C. is thinking about teaching a choir class. She would like
to have the help of a parent who is proficient in piano to accompany them.
Cindy shared as she and her family will be leaving for China.
Their target
date for departure is March 15. Thank you all for your continued prayer and
support of their family. Three years
ago their daughter Sarah was experiencing heart failure. The doctor even thought she may need a heart
transplant. Although she did not get the transplant, she was sick with a
serious heart condition for over a year. They were not sure if they would even
be able to go to China. After a year and a half, God healed Sarah. The Lord used this time to prepare them for
ministry and to draw them closer to Himself.
Why China?
1)
There
is a great spiritual need in China in the following areas:
a.
Truth—Communism
basically removed all religion and stripped away all truth.
b.
The
church
c.
Leadership
training
d.
A
biblical worldview
2)
There
is great potential to send out workers to other hostile regions.
3)
It
is a great blessing to serve with churches in a persecuted country.
What will
they be doing in China?
1)
They
will be preaching the Gospel and making disciples.
2)
They
will be training pastors. Many of the house church pastors have not had proper
training.
3)
They
will be planting churches.
Persecution
continues in China, although in a much milder form than in many places. If you
would like to read stories about and know how to pray for persecuted Christians
in China you can look for voice of the martyrs online.
How to Pray
for their Family
· For their personal growth in the Lord
· For their marriage
· For their children’s salvation
· For the children’s adjustment to a
new country/lifestyle
· For security
· For Health
· For partnership (They have between
90-95% of their budget)
