Praise & Prayer

Praise and prayer

Praise

  • For the investment our student teachers made in our students during 3rd quarter in kindergarten and the 1st/2nd combo class. We are glad both Anna Berhow and Claire Lasche were able to return to their homes in the USA before flights were cancelled. We are very excited that Anna has agreed to return to ECA in August to teach 1st grade!
  • For the 1.5 years that Mauricio (Operations) and the 7 years that Liz (math teacher) Parada served here at ECA. We are thankful for their service and pray the best for them as they begin a new life in Kansas.
  • For the free RightNow Media resources that all staff, alumni, and families have available during this time of spending more time at home. This is an online library full of Bible study resources in both English and Spanish, as well as a gigantic kids library of Biblical shows.If you haven’t activated your account, check it out here.

Prayer

  • For continued wisdom for our leaders in dealing with the COVID-19 virus here in Colombia. Pray for our health workers and others who are at high risk of being infected. Pray for those who do not have steady income during this time.
  • For Beth Afanador’s younger brother, Kent Yohe, who is fighting against the COVID-19 virus. He continues sedated on a ventilator in Intensive Care in Dallas, TX. Doctors are using a new experimental drug and there has been a slight improvement in the white blood count according to his recent blood tests. Specific prayers are 1) that the virus would diminish in his lungs and would not move to any other organs, 2) for wisdom for the medical team, and 3) for peace for the family. His daughter, Megan Yohe, taught 2nd grade for 2 years at ECA.
  • For all the families around the world who are having forced family time as students study from their homes and parents work at home. Pray for fun shared moments, for wisdom with new routines and priorities, and for times of sharing and spiritual encouragement. Pray that many will seek God in a new and fresh way.
  • Staff Needs for 2020-21 – We continue to pray for the following positions that need to be filled:
    • 1 PK and 2 elementary teachers
    • Secondary math, science, and social studies teachers
    • Learning Center/special education, music teacher, and a PE teacher
