Community

    One of the biggest blessings at ICS Caracas is the community. This has especially been apparent to me these past few weeks. God is working in our staff through the community we have together. I've been blessed to enjoy countless meals with friends, have people who truly care when they ask how I'm doing, and always have someone who I can talk to when I've had a rough day. This community challenges each other in our walk with the Lord. We encourage one another. We play games together, eat together, go play volleyball at another school close to us, have Bible study together, and intentionally spend time outside of school with each other. I am blessed to be part of the ICS staff and the wonderful community that we have.

Prayer Requests and Praises
-Our staff is growing together! We've been learning how we function this year as a staff with all of the new people and changes. I am thankful that we are working well together.
-Being able to find these staples that have shortages is such a blessing and praise. Yesterday, the store I was at even had so much toilet paper that it was on two different aisles! I've also found vegetable oil and flour recently. God always provides just when we need it.
-Pray for salvation for students. Many of the fourth grade girls are asking great questions and truly searching. Pray that the fifth graders would begin thinking and asking questions about the Bible. We're about to begin a unit on who God is.
-Continue to pray for health. There is a virus going around Caracas that I hope no one at our school gets. It is wonderful that since the first week of school, we have mostly been healthy.
-Praise that our new students are doing well. They have learned a lot these first few weeks.
-I still have one student in my class who should be coming during these next two weeks, and I would appreciate prayers for her as she transitions in the middle of the year.
-Pray for friendships in the fifth grade class. They are at an age where they are learning again how to work with others who they suddenly find very annoying some days.
