Beginning of English classes and Pre-School

David had a great start back teaching his English conversation classes. Many students will take a break for the month of April as it is the beginning of a new school year here in Japan, however despite this he has 4 new students this semester and a few trial students have come to try out the classes. When someone is a trial students, they get to attend an English class one time for free and see if they want to sign up. This is a great way to give people an opportunity to see what the classes are all about and to make them more aware of the church. He is still teaching in the evenings except for his Saturday afternoon classes. 

We wanted to begin the Pre-School with 3-5 year olds but have not had as much interest from this age group because of the hours of the Pre-School or transportation issues. We have had some interest from mom's of 2 year olds so we decided to begin with this age group. 

The children in my class are under the age of 2 and around 1 and 1/2 years old. The moms want them to be around the English language, songs, activities, and games. I am teaching  this class on Wednesday mornings for 1 hour. There are currently 5 children in this class. 

Please continue to pray that more families will show interest in our school and inquire about enrolling. 

Our English classes are a great way to share the Gospel with both the students and the parents.
