One More Week

Just one more week before school starts. Zach will head back over to Forerunner Music Academy, Rachel & Sarah will go back to The Daniel Academy, (Zach thinks it's funny he's still pictured on their website, it's such a great picture though) and the little squirts are home with me. I'm really enjoying them and I'm looking forward to getting back to school. They've had a little too much time on their hands.
Both John and I will teach a class at The Daniel Academy. He'll be teaching 5th and 6th graders a Trailblazers class, I believe it's a reading history based program. I'll be teaching a yearbook class to high schoolers 2 times a week. I've been very busy this past week trying to find a publisher that meets all of our needs. I didn't know there were so many options out there. And these kids are creative, I can't wait to see what they come up with at the end of the year. It'll be good.

John has 1 more week left heading up the Media Apprenticeship. There are many mixed emotions about leaving this position. It just feels like the right time. We want to devote more time to praying together as a family. At IHOP there are different staff designations:

  • Full-time staff :
    24 hours/week of scheduled prayer room time
    24 hours/week of service and team-building time combined
  • Part-time Staff
    12 hours/week of scheduled Prayer Room time
    12 hours/week of service and team-building time combined
  • Operations Staff
    12 hours/week of scheduled Prayer Room time
    36 hours/week of service and team-building time combined

We were Operations staff and haven't decided yet what our next designation will be. This will be a financial shift for us as well. We were receiving a work scholarship for our time. If you are interested in supporting us, please contact us. (At this time we are not supported by any churches or organizations, only individuals. Any help is greatly appreciated.)

John is scheduled to lead worship once a month for the Children's Equipping Center as well as the Malachi Prayer Room. There may be other worship opportunities coming up also.
