Dictionaries for Niamey

bonnie-dictionaries.jpg

God is so good. I had a young lady live with me in Toledo, Oh for a summer as a missionary at the Baptist Center I ran. Her name is Christina. She is now married with 2 children, Nathan and Sarah. Christina and her family and friends at her church sent me 12 pocket dictionaries for my ESL class.

        I am seen here giving this to my guard Mohammed. Then I told him there are 35,000 words in this book and he should know them all by next week. At first he just looked at me with a look of confusion. Then he got my joke and the whole class began to laugh. They are so excited that anyone would give them such help. I explained that it is because of the love of Christ that people care about them and want to help them. These students are learning very quickly thanks to your prayers for them.        Next week we will begin to learn to use these helpful tools. THANK YOU dear friends for this gift of words. The more learned the better to tell them about Christ’s love. God bless you.       Bonnie
