Calling All Teachers! Calling All Teachers!

After 5 years in Africa, and 5 years of being asked questions like, "What's a typical day in Mozambique?"  "What's the best/worst part of living in Africa?" and thinking, "I don't think I've ever had a typical day!" and "I can think of about 150 different responses to the 'best/worst' questions.", I think we've finally nailed down the answer to one of the questions.

The question of the day is "What is your biggest challenge living in Mozambique?"  The response is not "maddening traffic", "enormous cockroaches", "intense heat", "frequent power outages" or even "constantly being asked by everyone you know for assistance".  The biggest challenge has been and continues to be educating our children.  The older they get, the more difficult it becomes.  We know it's not just our struggle.  It's the struggle of so many parents trying to educate their children overseas.  

 Time doesn't allow for us to go into all the reasons why.  The number one reason is lack of teachers.  Committed and trained teachers.  Teachers who see themselves and full-fledged missionaries.  A vital part of a team approach in the effort to "go into all the world" and "preach the gospel".  A part that is now missing for us as a family.

So what can you do to help?  PRAY!!  Pray that God will impress on the hearts of teachers to share their talents and abilities with us.  CONSIDER!!   If you are a teacher, consider our desperate plea for help!  SPREAD THE WORD!!  Please recruit for us among teachers you know. 

Our son, Stephen, will be entering 5th grade in the fall.  He needs a teacher!  We are asking God to provide just the right person.  If  you are interested or know someone might be a good fit and would like more information, please reply with a comment and or contact WorldVenture directly.  Please contact us!

WE NEED YOU!!!
