By Grace School is the only Chistian school in this district of Northern Thailand and as such, is a strong lighthouse for the gospel! One attraction is having native English speakers come to help the students learn and practice their English.
Our team taught students in Grades 1 - 6 using topics of interest to help them learn new English words. We also taught the Bible story from Mark Chapter 4 and our main theme verse, "Even the wind and the waves obey Him." (Mark 4:41b)
Pat and Traci used the "Hokey Pokey" song to teach "directions" to the children. The children had a great time! We did too" :))
Veena and Lusa taught about "people groups" and where they came from around the world.
Paul and Eddie used math to teach numbers in English.
Shelby taught English words used in cooking. She used a homemade chocolate pie recipe!
Tony and Connie used architecture to teach words like "roof" and "door."
And Dede used music to teach English words in praise songs complete with all the motions!
Of course we couldn't have done any of this without the help of Paul and Lois and the teachers at By Grace School!
To close out English Day, all of the students gathered for a special program and we shared our "Emotions" skit. The Lord is using this powerful drama to show how the "sweet aroma of the knowledge of Christ" (2 Cor 2:14) can and does transform hearts and lives!
We praise the Lord for the opportunity to be a part of what He is doing at By Grace School. And we are not finished yet! More updates coming soon!
Please keep praying! Thank you!!!
Sounds like a very full day! We love the "Hokey Pokey" song! All kids love it! Continuing to pray!
