Day 12: Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Special speaker during middle school chapel
Twice a year, we have a Spiritual Emphasis Week at Highlands.  Usually a team comes from the US with a speaker who is prepared to share daily messages with the middle and high school students.  After that special chapel time, there are break out groups where small numbers of students get together with teachers to ask questions and ponder the material together.  It's a pretty sweet time when extra effort is put towards praying for and interacting with the students on spiritual matters.  Most of them are unbelievers or nominal Christians, at best.  As middle school Bible teacher this year, Scotty has had the privilege of organizing this week with his buddy, Luke, the high school Bible teacher.  Because of the transition in leadership we are still sifting through, we were not able to lock in a team from the U.S.  Instead, Scotty was able to tap into the many missionaries we know around here who will come each day to share about Isaiah 61.  Will you pray that God will open hearts during this week and speak His truth into them?  There's definitely some tension regarding the changes I keep alluding to and we'd love to see the Lord bring unity in our beloved school in this time!
Just wanted to leave a happy picture of our leisurely afternoon with coffee and Coffee (the dog).
