On December 29 most of the extension staff of BVBID, gathered at the home of David and Rhonda Hamrick for food, fun and fellowship. Counting spouses and children there were twenty in attendance and it was a great time of fellowship and comraderie, and for us new members of the staff, a great time to become acquainted. We sang and prayed until almost 10:00 p.m.
The next morning we reassembled for a staff meeting to discuss the various works we are involved in around the world. The elders of the Bear Valley church of Christ have approved new schools to begin in 2009 in the following places: Danlí, Honduras; Takoradi, Ghana; Chandigarh, India; and Visakhaputnam, India. One other school is awaiting official confirmation. There is a great deal of work to do this coming year.
As our last post pointed out, the new school in Danlí, Honduras is on hold until we are able to recruit more students. It is our prayer that we will be able to begin classes before too long. We will keep you updated on that situation. In the meantime, I will be traveling to Chimala, Tanzania in August to teach for two weeks, beginning late August 2009. I will update this blog as other travel plans are confirmed.
God bless,
Donnie Bates
