Our training ministry in the region continues to grow. In early June, an Instructor of Teachers (IOT) Level 2 was held in the Philippines’ National office. The two weeks course was attended by nine (9) CEF staff and one (1) volunteer, with another six (6) staff doing the instructing. It was a great two weeks.

From the Philippines, I went to Guam and visited with the National Board and several churches with Emma Lambino, former CEF worker in Guam. We also went to a VBS, and it was wonderful to be with the Island children. Pray for someone to go to Guam to direct the work there.

Then it was a Teaching Children Effectively^TM (TCE^TM) Level 1 course in Mongolia – a land of big sky, beautiful mountains, and wonderful people. Most of the students were young, with many of them eager to take the IOT 1 next year. What joy to be with the Parks, missionaries from Korea. Taiwan was next with their Institute being held every three years. The venue was a Christian University, a beautiful place for the weeks of study and learning. The Taiwan CEF staff are becoming Leadership Training Instructors and it was exciting to see how students and staff are developing. During the nine (9) weeks, the students led 151 children to the Lord in Open Air, 5-Day Clubs^® and Party clubs. The students from Taiwan were joined by two ladies from Singapore and one from Malaysia.

Meanwhile, the Institute in the Philippines is on-going. There are 19 students at the moment. Most of the teaching staff are Filipinos. Thank you for praying for each of these courses, and also for the Institutes to be held yet this year in Korea and Myanmar. God is indeed blessing the training of many people around the Region.
