Family Ongoings

Spring Break has been a wonderful time for our family to stop, rest, pray and play. We began our break with a trip to Turkey for a work/play conference with our mission organization. We enjoyed some time on the beach, some time learning from an amazing teacher and just some great fellowship time with fellow workers around the world. Below are some pictures of our time there:

It may seem that all we did was spend time outside with friends, but because of security reasons we were unable to capture photos of our working/learning times. We were very well cared for by our mission in that we had an incredible balance of learning in the morning and exploring the sites of some of the Early Church beginnings.
 
Both Anna and I had the privilege of educating ourselves through various workshops that focused on parenting and education and how to thrive on the mission field. I (Clarence) was reminded by all those who were in attendance at how wide and deep the love of God is for his people all around the world. I count it to be a privilege to be a part of an organization that sees their mission as being a part of God's mission to spread the gospels and bring redemptive transformation to many different communities around the world through education. Thank you to all of you who have joined our team over the last 2 years in sharing the Good News to the students at BFA and our community at large.
 
We are planning to be in North America this summer and would love to meet with you if we can. Our itinerary is as follows:
 
June 18 to July 2: Calgary, Alberta
July 3 to August 6: Ohio/Midwest
August 7 to August 17: Toronto, Ontario
 
Drop us a line at cyau@teachbeyond.org or send us a Facebook message and hopefully we can connect with you.
