At school, classes finally started Monday October 6. There was a pretty good turn out of students for the first day.

Former BTI Student and long time BTI Teacher Maccene Limpreux shared from Scripture (Psalm 1) for devotions, BTI school Principal Phanes Charles welcomed the students and BTI school Vice Principal Gabriel Mompremier discussed the student handbook. Classes started right away.



As I mentioned the last time I posted, September 18 and 19 I spent most of both days in meetings with community representatives and representatives from World Vision. This past Thursday, October 9, I spent most of another day in a seminar led by Pastor Claude Aneas from World Vision. The seminar was about leadership and what it is to be a leader. There was some wonderful information shared.




Friday afternoon, 10 October, the BTI soccer team played a match with the MINUSTA UN soldiers from Chile stationed for 2 weeks in Pignon. The BTI team won 7 to 1. It was either their 11th or 12th win in 12 or 13 matches with MINUSTA, or something like that! The BTI team had a bit of help from a friend visiting HAFF with Dr Jerry Pennington. Jacob scored the first and third goals for the BTI team and won everyone's respect for his abilities! Here are some photos and a video of the, sometimes intense, play. The BTI team is in the lighter blue shirts, MINUSTA in the dark blue. Jacob is the only white guy with a light blue shirt!
