JYC Instructors Course in Kilchzimmer




I am currently in Switzerland attending the Junior Youth Challenge Instructors Course at Kilchzimmer. We have seven students here from 5 different countries - Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, France and the Netherlands. David Crutchley (Youth Challenge Ireland Coordinator) and Philippe Mayhew (Current European Youth Challenge Coordinator) and myself are teaching the course. This is the first time I have taken it, so I am sitting in on most of the classes and taking notes so that I can teach it myself in the future.
Even though we are a relatively small group there is a lot of life around Kilchzimmer because there are 2 other courses taking place simultaneously. So altogether we have about 30 students plus staff.
Thank you for praying about our house search. I have spent a lot of time looking around at different areas and properties but I still haven't found what we are looking for. However we are happy to wait on God's timing - He knows all about it.
I was able to visit the Christian school in Loerrach and to speak for 15 minutes with the principal of the Primary School. She has offered us a place for Joel so all we need to do is fill in the application forms. Please pray that God will confirm if this is the way we should go.
Still no snow here - the forecast says we may get some next week. When it comes I will be sure to post a photograph here. Thanks for upholding me in your prayers, please also remember Claudia and the boys at home.
