Meet Sue’s small group!

Tuesday nights are small group Bible study groups for high school and middle school students.  Sue and another woman on staff (Carol) team up and lead a group of six high school girls.  Their names are Solveig, Helen, Deena, Naomi, Lindsey, and Joanna.  Here they are at our house having a Christmas party:

Evangelistic Outreach in our community!

Thursday nights in the local town of Kandern are special nights for celebrating the Christmas season.  Campfires are lit for roasting doe on sticks and for places to gather together for conversation.  Booths sell traditional German foods and drinks, and local musicians perform to usher in the Christmas spirit.  Black Forest Academy was privileged to take the opportunity to present the message of Christmas through song, mime, and a Gospel message.  Have a look:

Please pray for the safety of our 180 dorm students who will be traveling many miles to be with their families for Christmas break.  Pray also for warm times of reunion with their parents and siblings.  Thank you for co-laboring with us in this amazing ministry to missionary and other third culture kids!

Hausbad Riedlingen (HBR) Renovations

As the three year “Project Renewal” of the Janz Building on the main campus nears completion we are now turning our attention to some much needed improvements on our dormatory facilities.  Our eight dormatory buildings scattered about in the surrounding German communities house 180 students, the majority of which are MKs.  HBR is one of these dormitories where Bob and the maintenance crew have been doing some renovation work this fall.  This past week we had a work team from a supporting church of Joe and Susie Stebner.  Joe is the maintenance crew supervisor.  The work team has been a great help in moving this renovation project along.  Below are some pictures of the progress which has been made:
