Clay Pots: Teacher's Training Course

Teacher's Training Course

Last Friday, 12 students graduated from the literacy teacher's training course. This next month we are looking at possibly 3 new literacy classes starting up in 3 different villages with these teachers. The first day of the course Jason told them this, "The reason we want everyone to learn to read and write is so that when we give you the Word of God in your language it will not just sit there and go to waste. But we want you to be able to read it and gain true knowledge."
We wanted to thank all of you who are giving so generously to the literacy program. It is very humbling for us to have to ask for help in paying for things but we truly believe that this work is worthy of your support.
Tomorrow morning, Kellie will be flying out for her root canals. On that flight there will be 3 translation consultants flying in here. While Kellie is gone for 3 days, Jason will not only be watching 3 kids, but also taking his first translation check. They will be going over 6 of his Bible lessons that he has translated. If all goes well it will also be his last translation check! He will be given the green light from here on out. We are in awe of God bringing him to that point. We would greatly appreciate prayers for Jason and the kids during this extremely important time. Also, Chad will be going over his translation of Genesis 1-22 during those three days. So these are big times here. Thanks for your prayers.

His Clay Pots,
Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, and Malachi Knapp
