It was a very encouraging time of fellowship and sharing about the challenges of the future….
Actually on September 26th, just the day before our new Fall quarter began, Judi and I departed for a two-month trip to Europe and beyond. We stopped in California for a day to see family and then continued on to Europe.

Along with our new students, we had nearly 100 children come with them and follow a school program specifically for them. This quarter, along with our staff, represented people from 41 nations, speaking 34 languages.
