Chapter & verseNews, Announcements and Updates for Friendship House Teacher
Friendship House Teachers . . . Step Aside, SuperHeroes! National Teachers Day in the U.S. is observed on May 8 thisyear. World Teachers Day is marked on October 5. Whichever date is used,
it is a time to salute and appreciate the tremendous amount of time,
preparation, care, prayer and love that our volunteer teachers devote to the
International students of Friendship House. Every teacher can tell you atleast a few stories about students they know that they reached, helped move
from beginning to intermediate English conversation over the course of a
semester, or broke first ground in opening the door to Gods word in their
lives. Each teacher can also tell you the immeasurable value of friendship
extended to people far from their homelands and families. To our teachers
and tutors of Friendship House, please know how much you are
appreciated, admired, respected and held up in prayer. Moreover as for me,
God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the
right way:1 Samuel 12:23 (KJV)

Thanks to Kaye! Thanks to Teacher (and Board member) Kaye, Friendship House has anew DVD player for the living room entertainment center. This is both for instructional use and for
students to curl up and watch a movie classic. This is a great new addition to Friendship House.
Thanks, Kaye!
Already Thinking Summer Semester Friendship House is already planning itssummer semester classes. Let me know if you plan (or not) on continuing
teaching this summer. A brief course description for your class would be really,
really helpful because the summer schedule we publish for students will include
more detail about class content (per students requests). Thanks!

International S tudent D inner Wow s Em! Several Friendship HouseInternational students recently planned and prepared a magnificent meal for members at Martin

congregations that supports us, students were at their best in showcasing special dishes from their
countries. Seventy people enjoyed the multinational repast. Special thanks go to students Hamideh
and Larisa for coordinating this wonderful evening. Below are some photos from the event:
