WISE Extension Campus Begins in Barbados

Brice flew to Barbados Sunday to kick-off the new WISE Classes in Barbados.  They have begun evening classes this week.  It's so exciting to see 21 adults eager to dig deeper into God's word.  After full days of work they meet for class 6:30-9:30 each evening for class.

So thankful for the churches and ministers there who have raised up and grown men and women eager to grow more in the Lord!

A Really Great Graduation

What a special time.  Hard to believe I have taught some of these kids for 2 years now.  I will miss them, even though I was ready for summer break! 

So many have helped these kids visiting groups, teachers Mrs. Maddie, Mrs. Pam, and Miss Marisa.  Last year we saw several of our students go on to schools and now are at the top of their class, whereas their siblings struggle in their classes not having started out with preschool and really learning their basic foundation.  So, we are pleased we get to help giving them a good start.

Here they are singing their sounds for their letters.

Each student received a special award, from most huggable to most active to best behavior.

Afterwards we had a special cookout and carnival.  Our intern, Alexis, brought in a suitcase full of prizes and games donated by Lifetrack Christian Church.  It brought lots of fun here.

Each Bible College student ran a booth.  The fishing booth.

Musical ABC's was a favorite.

Water balloon toss fun

And there were long lines for Miss Angie's face painting.

So much fun with the bubbles.

Ring toss

And finding the hidden marble.

And our friend Charles brought his horse for all to ride.

What a special fun time.  The Bible College students told us they had never been so worn out.  Together with Sis Claudette they barbecued for all, decorate, and ran games all evening.  So thankful to serve with this team here!
