FIRST WEEK OF HLC SCHOOL!

First day of HUB LEARNING CENTER! First day of Kindergarten for Ellie!

First day teaching again after 6 years!

When I was in 6th grade, I wrote on "What do you want to be when you grow up" that I wanted to be a MISSIONARY, TEACHER, and a MOM and yesterday on our first day of school, I became a Missionary Teacher Mom with YWAM Lancaster!

God is so good in how he redeems our stories and leads us step by step into his ultimate plan for us!

Thank you so much for each of you that prayed for us for our first day! Josiah and I had a rough night the night before school started with all three of the girls waking up throughout the night, but I could literally feel the supernatural energy come into my body as I drove to school for the first day meeting! GLORY BE TO GOD!

We had a powerful time of worship at YWAM with all the students and mommas and all the YWAM Staff! Each of the students was prayed for individually and you could feel God's heart was so delighted!

At school, the kids did AWESOME! It was such a successful first day and we had so much positive feedback from the students and mommas! One of my first grade boys said, “I didn’t know school would be like this, this is fun!”

HLC (Hub Learning Center) has

*3 classes (K&1, 2-5th, and Middle School)

*4 teachers

*26 students!

We have 9 students in Kindergarten and First grade!

Miss Wilna is my assistant teacher and she loves the students so well! I'm so blessed to have her!

Please continue to pray for supernatural energy for the teachers each day, creativity to connect with the students, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to speak into each of the kid's lives! Please pray for the students to bond with each other, encounter the love of their heavenly father, and feel peace and a sense of belonging at school!
