CYPRUS Logos English School of Education

Mrs Brenda Flett joined Logos School nearly 20 years ago and taught as a Primary Class Teacher for 7 years. Brenda and her husband Steve’s 3 daughters are students in the school, and she continues to help on a parttime basis, covering classes and assisting teachers when needed. Brenda has Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in the liver, having been treated for and recovered from breast cancer in 2018 and 2019. Please pray for the Flett family as they face this challenge and faithfully serve in the school.

November saw the return of the ‘24 hour run’, which has become something of a tradition at Logos School. In half hour segments, at least one student is continuously participating in a sponsored run to raise money for a charitable cause. This year, our aim was to raise money to help Brenda Flett with treatment for her liver cancer, and also to purchase new benches for students to sit on during break time. Afterwards, Steve Flett (Deputy Head and Brenda’s husband) led a very moving assembly exploring the brevity of life, the battle with cancer in their family, and their eternal security and faith in Christ. Pray that as we take opportunities to face and address real life questions, we may be able to point students towards our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. December was a month full of further opportunities. The Logos Hope ship came to Limassol Port, and we were able to plan events with them. All our students went onboard the ship for programs and bookstore visits. The ship also hosted a ‘Connections’ dinner onboard, with 100 or so parents hearing the Gospel as well as the testimony of a family serving onboard the ship. Many of the parents were challenged about why 350 people would be on a ship, volunteering to feed them, help and serve around the world for nothing, a great talking point.

We are still praying and looking for permanent Phyisics, English and Greek teachers for September 2023. Temporary cover is being arranged through the Lord’s goodness. Please contact the Logos School if you are interested.

My work in children’s meetings and school assemblies continues to be very encouraging. Please pray that the Lord will keep the schools open to our access. During the recent meetings in Clandeboye Primary School we also got permission to put up the Bible exhibition and take all the older school children on a tour of the story of the Bible. We hope to be in other schools in the new year.

Two recent series of gospel meetings have given us so much joy. I was asked to join Ross Vanstone in a pioneer gospel outreach in a very remote area of the Canadian prairies. To our knowledge this was the first time such meetings were ever held there. The Lord worked greatly in the community, and we had between 50 and 70 attending most evenings. A man and his wife told us that they were saved during the meetings. These dear folks were God-fearing but were brought up with an unbiblical view of the gospel. It was a delight to see the Lord open their eyes as the gospel was presented to them each night. They are soon to be baptised and that will make a very public break from their heritage. A boy from another family also told us that he got saved. We had a great number of younger folks in each night.

When I came home, I joined Paul McCauley for the meetings in Clandeboye Primary School. We had 4 weeks meetings and a good interest all the way through. We were delighted to hear a girl tell us that she was saved after the first week.

In the will of the Lord, I will be travelling to England and then to Iowa for teaching in January. As always, we appreciate your prayer for us as we seek to serve the Lord in these ways.
