Soon after our family arrived in Brownsville we met a young lady named April at our church. April is from the Chicago area, and had just moved to Brownsville herself to teach at a local school. She ended up helping in our ESL ministry, and was quite skilled at it.
In a few weeks April will be moving to Shell, Ecuador to teach at the Nate Saint Missionary School, where she'll be teaching missionaries' kids during the 2012 - 2013 school year. We'll sure miss seeing April around, but are excited that she has such a wonderful opportunity.
I think it was Rick Warren who said that we shouldn't judge a church by its seating capacity, but by its sending capacity. In other words, a healthy church is not one where lots of like minded people puddle up to bask in the glow, but one that is actively sending folks out to impact darkness.
April won't receive a salary in this position. She'll be totally supported by the financial support of friends, and will need about $1,050 a month to make it. If you'd like to help April Kujawa (even if it's just a one-time gift), you can do so at the HCJB website (account # 128832).
