The first semester was very busy, especially with the short-term intern from Germany I was tasked to oversee aside from teaching work.
However, by the grace of God, not only was I able to supervise the intern well, but I was also able to the extra admin load after one of the staff had to leave for the mission field.
STUDENT UPDATES
Two of our students graduated recently, Calvin in December, and Seajin in June. Calvin is now back in South Africa and doing well with his college work, and Seajin is getting ready to go back with her family to their mission in Turkiye, where she will continue to prepare for university admissions in the us.
Ruth went back to Senegal as her family continues god's mission there.
Seyoon and He yoon are now in the Philippines to start their new mission in Cebu.
NEWLETTER
I didn't want to say much in this update; rather I wanted you to hear updates of the school from the students themselves. I was blessed to oversee the newspaper club, and am beyond excited to share to you the wonderful newsletter we prepared. Some of things included share the students' honest opinions, so it is refreshing to see how the new generation thinks.
PLEASE PRAY FOR US
Summer classes are open! I opened summer classes to help students prepare for the next semester. The music teachers are also meeting with the students so that their progress in their chosen instruments will continue during the break. Please pray that the students will continue to give their best this summer, while still being able to enjoy their vacation.
Please pray for financial support. The average cost of living in Korea KRW 1,600,000 (around $1,400). Since majority of the students' tuition go to administration fees, it has barely been able to give KRW 500,000 to each staff in the recent years.
Pray for my visa situation. In order to extend my visa, I have opted to start a consulting business. I need to plan out this business and be able to earn KRW 2,000,000 a month (including support raised) in order to extend my visa.
