One Month/Meet the Entourage

And we're definitely on our way! We spent this past week planning and preparing for the first week of classes and things are definitely coming together. It's going to be a very busy week of surveying, meeting and talking to students. These first few weeks are the most important so we'll be on the campuses most of the day. Please pray for this coming week.



Meet the Entourage:

I figured you should know some of the people who I may talk about or you may see in pictures who are not on the STINT team so here they are:

Elaine: Elaine is from London and studies at Cambridge. She's studying German and French and is on her year abroad here in Berlin. She's not taking classes, but needs to be involved in something that requires her to speak German. So what better way to spend your year speaking German than to do German ministry! So Elaine is basically part of our team and we definitely love her.

Monte and Anne Keltner: Monte and Anne are on staff with Family Life (a ministry of CCC). Monte was actually in my language class with me. They are great and very hospitable to us.

Kevin and Lisa: Kevin and Lisa are from New Zealand and are on staff with Athletes In Action (another ministry of CCC).

Ben and Jessi: Also with AIA, Ben and Jessi are from Washington state.

Leah: Another AIA staff member. Leah plays basketball with a women's group here, but she can't actually play in their competetive games until she has her visa. Unfortually right now, a few divisions of city registry and the US Embassy are on strike now and it's taking a while to get done. So please say a prayer for Leah that she'll be able to get that soon.

There will probably be some more, but I'll save them for a later post.
