Good Morning Friends!
Very busy and hectic day and weekend with lots of ups and downs for our family and for many of you. I am reminded through our devos today to be still and wait quietly in the Lord's peace-bringing, instructing presence. he loves you, is with you always and always speaking. Turn off the noise as much as able in these chaotic, troubling days. remember Jesus told us to expect trouble and troubles can be part of our molding or God's redirecting and sometimes correcting. be still, know and receive. he is singing over you and whispering to your soul today. Worship! Shalom, very loved child of God! What's God whispering to you today? process that with a friend or two and go work at living and loving like Jesus! Amen!

Hello to all of our family, friends, and partners,
We enjoyed our time in the USA this summer. It was a great time with our family, friends and churches as well as meeting new people, and our boys enjoyed reconnecting with friends they made during our last home assignment. We also had time to visit colleges with Richard to help him plan where he'll be attending school next year. Enol and I are still getting used to the idea that he won't be with us next year.
Faith Academy's new school year started August 5. We have over 530 students enrolled this year from 20 different countries. We completed our accreditation review with ACSI last school year and it was approved for another 6 years! By receiving ACSI accreditation, Faith Academy graduates are accepted by colleges and universities around the world. ACSI gave us recommendations for ways to improve so staff will be reviewing them and working to incorporate them in how students are taught and how the school is run.
Larry's crew and contractors were able to finish most of the work to prepare the campus for the new school year (only the painting of the theater exterior was delayed due to weather). Every other Saturday afternoon during the summer work we offered a Bible study to the workers and a local church graciously donated Tagalog Bibles for us to hand out to them. We're praying a seed was planted in all of them and they'll continue to worship at local churches.
Richard is now a senior and Brayden is a sophomore at Faith Academy; they're enjoying time with their friends but are also doing well in their classes. They are both on the varsity boys volleyball team which is doing well this year. They are looking forward to going to the ACSC tournament in Indonesia in October to celebrate the season.
Enol is glad to be able to volunteer a few days a week at Faith Academy's Elementary division. She's reconnecting with old friends and making new friends while helping the teachers with their classes. She also enjoys being part of the team Moms for the boys volleyball team. The Moms are doing fund raisers to help reduce the cost of attending the tournament in Indonesia.
Praises
- Time with family and friends in USA
- Richard and Brayden doing well at Faith Academy, both with schoolwork and athletics.

Larry, Enol, Richard, and Brayden |
