The process of teaching and mentoring seminary students feels ordinary. Preparing lesson plans.  Using the plans.  Grading.  Listening.  Helping sort out issues.  Praying.  Counseling.  And so on.  </div> <bR> <div> We cannot figure out how to photograph or tell stories about teaching and mentoring seminary students that are interesting and which do not violate confidences.  We work hard at teaching and mentoring students.  God is at work!  These potential workers are turning into skilled and godly workers</div> <div> for the harvest.  PTL!</div> <bR> <div> More than a billion Chinese do not yet know the Lord Jesus Christ.  More workers are needed!</div> <bR> <div> This explains why we are excited about 49 BSOP students graduating, Lord willing, on March 29.  Workers trained for the harvest!</div> <bR> <div> This is why we ask you to pray even now for 50-60 new seminary students to replace those who graduate, for the new school year beginning in June.  Workers to be trained for the harvest!</div> <bR> <div> And, this is why we ask for your prayers for our `ordinary´ teaching and mentoring of these students.  With your partnership, by God´s grace, we hope for an extraordinary harvest!</div> <bR> <div> Because our Triune God is extraordinary!</div> <div> Jay and Amor</div> <bR> <bR> <div> by Jay and Amor Hallowell</div> <div> Last update: February 27, 2009</div> <div> --------------------------------- end of Hallowell content ----------------------------------------------</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
