I was going to start off by saying that these are the people that make it happen over here. These are the people that make a Class Session happen. But you know what. It's not really these people. Sure because they are here either as long term workers, or maybe just for 3 to 6 months you might think that these are the people who are important. But it's not about them. It's about the 36 students that will be here over the next two weeks. 36 students from 8 different countries, with 5 different language groups. It's about the 4 professors that will be here teaching AND learning. It's about the 17 short term workers that are here for 16 days. They are coming from 10 different churches from all across America. It's about all the support staff - all 18 TCMI staff, plus 17 STW's, plus 4 prof's all here for the same purpose. To shed light to a dark world. Even if all 39 of us were to go into the 8 different countries, we wouldn't have the impact (never mind the language skills) that these 36 students will have when they get back home. And this is only Session #4. There are a lot more to go before the end of the year.
That's a lot of STW's
That's a lot of prof's
That's a lot of students
And it's pretty much the same TCMI staff that is there as a foundation for all this to happen.
God bless them.
Just one more thought. Every time Pam and I go into town and we pass someone walking a dog, I am so impressed how smart the dogs are. The dogs here know German! Our dogs back home only know English.
