(I wanted to repost this note for those that are new to the Blog. Angie has no internet, no computer, no cell-phone. The main way she communicates with us is by snail-mail. She does get a 30 minute call, if she can get on the calling log before all the spots are taken. The calling spots are few. In addition to the few calling spots they have to fit their 30 minute call into their full schedule, which consists of school, ministry, chores and jobs. They also have a curfew of 10pm. One of the reasons we began this Blog was so that we could keep family and friends abreast of all she is up to, since she doesn’t have all the means of communication that we are all privileged to be able to freely use. Hence, one of the reasons I get so excited when “I hear her voice”, is because I do not hear it all the time. I treasure the time I can speak with her, the 30 minutes are just not enough. However, I am so very thankful for them.)Today I finally heard from Angie – yey!!! She said, “Thank you all for your prayers. I really felt them. We are now finished with mid-terms. I believe that because of all the prayer, I was calm and at peace. I actually had a confidence, in the LORD, that I haven’t had before. So, thank you very much for all your prayers. I am sure glad that is over.” Once mid-terms were done they immediately went into the next phase of work - she had to prepare a Lesson Plan and turn it in today. She felt led to prepare her lesson plan on “The Battle of the Mind”. Her three points were discouragement, deceit, despair. O, yeah, and that Satan is a liar and a loser. She was really encouraged by preparing it. The song that she has in her heart right now is The Battle Belongs to the LORD. This week she will be working on three teaching outlines that are due October 29th…please pray. She is also preparing to teach on December 10th…please pray. She is very excited because this week they get to go visit Time Square Church in New York. They get to be part of the Tuesday service. Their trip will be October 27th. Please pray for good weather; no snow; and that they will be blessed.
She sounded so good…thank you Jesus!

I just found your blog tonight when I googled Mt. Zion out of boredom and loneliness. I also have a daughter at Mt. Zion in her second year, Susannah Zawko. And my son, Stephen, is a first year student there. I was so excited to read your blog and compare Angie's experiences with those of my children. I'm rejoicing that they are there and following the will of God.
Dear Anonymous ~ how exciting! I love how the LORD has us cross paths with others on the same road. I will mention it to Angie and see if she and your daughter know each other. I'm sure they know each other since it's a small school. Thank you so much for your comment. LORD bless you.
