Jeff's Computer Class Begins

Classes at the Lae center began last week. Sue is teaching the History of Missions to four men. Jeff is teaching exegetical skills by studying Ephesians. He is also teaching a computer class.

There are seven students in the class. We only had room for six, but one student, who did not make the first class, traveled 20 km to get to class, so he is using the librarian's computer. Not one student had ever used a computer before, but they are learning quickly.

I found out when we started to teach them how to type that one student could not use his left hand. Please pray for him and me as we try to help him gain proficiency as a one-handed touch typist.

Pray for us as we suffer through "blackouts" (power outages). They are frequent here in Lae. We do have a generator, but it is so loud that being heard is a problem when we teach.
