God is busy at work on the edge of the Amazon jungle! I am

so thankful for everything He is doing and for the opportunity

to be a part of it. Thank YOU  for being a part of it by support-

ing me and praying for me.

This year has started full speed ahead! We have almost 400 students enrolled this year including 17

students who make up the first class that will ever graduate from Esperanza Eterna School! Nine

students from my previous school are attending this year and my longtime friend, Nanki, too! We

have 3 new projects incorporated into our curriculum that I am in charge of monitoring: Scientific

Investigation Project, Reading/Writing Projectand Practical Life Project (applying Christian

values to daily life). Our goal is to see students

reach higher levels of thinking across all

subjects, and through these projects, to glorify

God in their application of knowledge. In order to

reach this goal, I will train teachers throughout

the year to “think critically,” remodel the library

with the help of the Central Committee of

Parents and help plan 2 mission trips into other

communities with students. My prayer is for the

Spirit to move and fill this school with His

Presence — in all classrooms, subjects and events.

This summer, I had the privilege of helping plan a discovery Bible study for the staff at Esperanza

Eterna School. Every morning, we worshiped

together, then broke into small groups of 4-5

to study what God’s Word says about who

we are in Him. It was amazing! Many of

the teachers opened up and asked

questions about what it really means

to be a follower of Christ. It was a

wonderful time of meaningful

conversation and prayer. We had

such a positive response fromthis Bible study that we, the

campus Spiritual Committee,

decided to completely re-design

the way we reach out to the

teachers and staff. In order to

maintain the confidentiality of

our small groups, we will continue

to encourage our Bible study group

throughout the year with verses and

 prayer. We have also come up with the

following projects to help us encourage

teachers in their faith and nurture spiritual

growth.

Dennis is attending Esperanza Eterna School this year and I have never seen a happier

kid. He is bursting with joy for life! He loves to walk into school and say, “good morn-

ing!” to everyone in his path and give them a strong hug to start the day. On Friday,October 2nd, Dennis asked me about Jesus dying on the cross for us. He told me that

Jesus didn’t stay dead. “He lives!” he ex-

claimed. He wanted to know more about

this story that was so intriguing. I had the

 privilege of explaining to him what a won-

derful Saviour we have. We prayed to-

gether and he asked the Holy Spirit to

come live in his heart. A week later, I

talked to my grandpa, “Papa,” for the last

time on the phone and I shared this story

with him. Praise Jesus that Dennis is in the

Kingdom! Please continue to pray that the

adoption process will move quickly and

that God’s hand will be upon it. 

Thank you,

lison

Dennis...

Making our debut in November 2015, the Spiritual

Committee at Esperanza Eterna School will be

opening a prayer and coffee room for teachers to

take a minute to pray with someone, meditate on a

verse and have a cup of coffee. Please pray that God

uses this part of my ministry to bring others into the

Kingdom of God!
