Merry CHRISTmas from Honduras!

Blessed Christmas greetings to all of you, from 6A in Honduras! :)

Below: Enjoying our "colour day" (no uniform) and wearing Christmas colours.


Students' creative crafts.

(All I did was give them cardboard and paint!) :)


My Christmas display to remind us of the real purpose of Christmas. We joyfully and reverently remember how God sent Christ to earth for the redemption of our sins. Our class had an amazing month of special Christmas activities / focuses in Bible class.

Prayer for direction

MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
