MICHEALS’ MEMOIRS December 2019 Update
Dear Friends and Family, The past few months have been a flurry of activity for us. Our work at three Association of Christian Schools International recruitment events at Baylor, Grand Canyon and Liberty Universities brought us 70 names of mostly education students interested in learning more about how they might serve Missionary Kids (MKs). Chuck and a number of other Wycliffe recruiters are following up with these people. Already, a number of seniors are expressing a strong interest in serving with us once they graduate. Take a look at this video for details about what it is like to teach at one of our MK schools: https://vimeo.com/370395999. Click Here
Please pray for fruit on our labors. Especially pray for a new student teaching program Chuck is setting up to help college students do their student teaching in one of our MK schools. Progress has been made in finding schools willing to do this. Now we need student teachers! In addition to these three events, Wycliffe sent a teacher recruitment email out to over 60,000 people who have connected with Wycliffe over the years. That effort brought us almost 30 more names of people to follow up with. A number of
these people have had significant educational teaching backgrounds and are having conversations with Chuck about how they might serve. The need for educators is urgent for our Wycliffe MKs. This coming 2020/2021 school year we have almost 300 open positions in the 43 MK schools around the world where we have MKs attending. One of these MK teaching needs has a personal connection with us.

Barb and Chuck at Black Forest Academy
In October, we had an opportunity to visit our two children and their spouses who serve with Wycliffe in Germany. Several of our grandchildren are at the age where they attend Black Forest Academy (BFA) in Kandern, Germany were our son and his wife teach. This MK school is primarily a boarding school, but missionary children who live near the school also attend. Black Forest Academy has 25 educator jobs open. These positions are in administrative, elementary and secondary areas. If you are interested in these positions, please let Chuck know. Take a look at the open positions at BFA: https://tinyurl.com/bfa-2020-2021
If you or you know of anyone interested in serving in any of our MK schools, please have them contact Chuck at teach@wycliffe.org.
