I was looking at an old calendar the other day, it was one with pictures of the ministry in the previous year. I think the year was 1988 or somewhere around there. I was shocked to see 18 students in the Calvary Language School. 18 future missionaries to Latin America, studying Spanish to go out and preach the gospel in Spanish. Last year when we got here there weren't any students. This year, we had three but one has returned home to Chicago for financial/family reasons. I don't know where else someone could go, live, and study a language for $275. That includes all your food, lodging, and classes. If you know anyone who feels called to Latin America and needs/wants to learn Spanish, have them give me a buzz. It's an incredible opportunity to live, work, study, and experience Mexico in a safe, small town, Christian environment.
I've had that very calendar!! Those students were at the language school when we came for our very first trip in September 1989. I know several of the students. Great, great memories! Even of the light blue buildings everywhere, and maroon pants, ties, and skirts!!
