Greeting to you our brothers and
sisters in Christ!!!
The ABC Bible school year has
started successfully. We are having about 120 children according to the last
counting. It was so relieving when we saw them coming: the new ones and the old
ones. They have been enrolling since August and continue to come up to this
moment. A great joy we have in our hearts when we see new students come by the
recommendation of their friends who showed loyal attendance in previous years.
We also would like to admit that for the last sever-al years we have not had the
opportunity to teach senior students because it was their last years of the
high school so they were busy preparing for the future tests. This year we have
those students back and it is so good to have this age (15 -16 years old) with
us again. Our state educational program included English test on their finals
so this is the reason the seniors started to look for the opportunity to study
English, we do appreciate that some of them showed the interest in our ABC
school.
So the age groups what we have
now are:
5-6 years old – preschool
education, Bible stories and crafts
7-9 years old – Bible and English
10-12 years old – Bible and
English
13-14 years old – Bible and
English
15-16 years old – Bible and
English
16+ years old – Bible and English
We have five teachers, plus
preachers are helping us with the Bible classes.
Our schedule for different age
groups is:
Monday – 15:00; 16:00; 17:00
Tuesday – 15:00; 16:00; 17:00
Wednesday – 16:00; 17:00
Thursday – 15:00; 16:00; 17:00
Friday – 15:00; 16:00; 17:00
Every year we try to have
something for the parents of our students. This year is not an exclusion.
October 16, 19-22 we had parenting session on “Train up a child in the way he
should go…” Jeff Abrams was the main speaker.
A good news that this year we have
new teacher from Konstantinovka on a regular basis (last year she had been
helping some), her name is Kate Gladkih and she is the one who used to come to
study at ABC herself. She is 20 years old and she is so good with children.
Some of you used to help the
girls from Konstantinovka for the summer VBS to go to Svyatogorsk. So two of
them are teaching in Christian school (one of them— Julia, teaches in
Dnepropetrovsk) and Kate teaches in Kramatorsk and Konstantinovka. It was very
good investment and such a great help! Thank you!
We want to thank you for your
prayers and help, please greet the brethren there and let them know that Bible
is taught in Ukraine and the children are so receptive. Let’s pray they will
remember it when grow older, practice it and teach their children in turn.
Thank you very much. In Christ,
the teachers’ staff of ABC school.
