In about two weeks, my family and I will travel to Estonia. During our first week in Estonia we will be partnering with a church in Kohila and a part of an English Camp. We can't wait! An English Camp is an opportunity for student from the city of Kohila to spend a week practicing their English. Estonian's have an incredible English fluency level and students are motivated to practice their English with native speakers. I have the priveldge of speaking at the main sessions and Jen, Zach, and Abigail will all be a part of small group discussions out of the large group talks. I hope to jump into a small group as well! The large group discussions will present the story of God from creation through Christ. It will be interesting to see how students engage with the story of God and choose whether or not it connects with their own story. If you are interested in praying for the English Camp and our family through this journey, send me an email at david.cupery@gmail.com and I will add you to our prayer list. I looking forward to how God will work in our lives, the leadership teams from Kohila and Koma, and in the lives of the students who attend.
I'm not religious but I do really support any kind of education and if Estonian students will be able to practise their English with native speaker I'm glad. Regardless the topics what are discussed.
ReplyDeleteI'm also have been talking a lot with representatives from some kind of parish who are spreading their message to passers-by in the streets of Riga because it is interesting to speak with native english speakers and also useful for improving my own skills.
All I want to say - that's a great job you are doing!
I can't wait to go!!!
