Friday 9/24/10

Dear Parents,
We are having a rainy cold day.  I was just down at lunch with the kids and we had hamburgers, french fries and soda.  They were so excited!
Here is a note from my husband:
Escuela Caribe will be having a fall retreat starting Tuesday 10/05 with a dinner at 6p through Sunday 10/10 lunchtime.

The theme for this retreat is "On the Edge."  We will be having morning and evening chapels, and lots of fun activities such as games and workshops.

This comes in the middle of our trimester, and so will be a welcome break from the usual routine for staff and students alike, and most importantly an opportunity for all of us to focus on our relationship with Jesus Christ.

We are pleased to have Ken Tram as our retreat speaker this year. Ken is the Youth Director at New Hope Community Church. He is currently seeking a Masters of Divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary. Ken has traveled the USA and a few countries to share the Word through his creativity, insightful, comedic, and powerful message.  He has also led countless short-terms mission teams to the Caribbeans through Next Generation Mission and saw thousands of people commit their lives to Christ.  He enjoys snowboarding, camping (not too long though), movies, and joking around.  You can check Ken out on his website blog at http://www.ktram.com/

We would appreciate your prayers leading up to and during this retreat.  Pray that God will open up each persons heart to hear what God has for them - and that each one of us will respond favorably to God's call.
