ESL Teacher Appreciation

On Saturday, March 17, 2007, the Trinity Klein's ESL class said "Thank you" to their teachers. Together they celebrated 3 years of English classes. The students prepared a dinner, gave appreciation plaques and shared personal testimonies of how this program has helped them in their daily lives. One Hispanic man said in English "When I arrived here I didn't know how to speak a word of English. Now I can communicate at my work. God is good to me."

The students themselves raised over $2,000 for this event honoring their teachers. Rev. Lincon Guerra spoke to the teachers and students and said "We have not only sought to teach English, but also to share the Gospel with those who haven't heard it. Our first goal is to meet a need, our second goal was to plant a new Hispanic church. Thanks to God, we've accomplished both. This last semester, 200 students registered for ESL and computer classes. There was also a children's class led by Lilia Caban from Pastor Lincon's mission church Centro Familiar Cristiano.

What a blessing it is to see the Lord work in this place.
