Shola! News and prayer points from the Sholl's

Shola - Issue 12 Dec 2009/Jan 2010

News from Peter, Sarah, Karina, Lucy and Miriam in Monterrey, Mexico

MOCLAM update
๏ With increasing Spanish, Pete has been able to take up some MOCLAM teaching opportunities. In February he’ll begin teaching ‘Creación de la nueva creación’ to the Men’s Bible study group at our church, as well as meeting with two individuals to work through the material.
๏ Between Christmas and New Year Pete manned a MOCLAM stall at Urbana09, the InterVaristy (IFES-USA) missions conference in St Louis, USA. With 20,000 participants (mainly students) it was a good time for meeting people interested in theological education in the Spanish speaking world.
๏ This isn’t really MOCLAM work, but the kids club Pete runs while Sarah does Bible study has been a hoot! (and the
kids love it too)

Please Pray
๏ Thanks for the gift of Jesus.
๏ Thanks for the friendships that God has blessed us with here.
๏ Thanks for the generous love and support from Australia.
๏ Thanks for a good and restful holiday for Sarah and the girls.
๏ Thanks for more students who want to study MOCLAM courses with Pete.
๏ Pray for more people to know why Jesus is worth celebrating.
๏ Pray for perseverance and diligence as Pete and Sarah approach the end of intensive language learning (the process will continue for many years, but with less hours of formal tutoring).
๏ Pray for greater competency in communicating in Spanish.
๏ Pray for Pete as he prepares to teach Introduction to the Bible to the Men’s group and a smaller group in Spanish.

Bible Verse
