Last night the DTS had a "musical night" where groups of the students sang a song in their own language. Most of our students are from different tribes in Nagaland, as well as some other Northeast states, and most tribes have their own language. It was so beautiful to hear them singing and worshipping God. They are incredibly gifted musicians.
The DTS has being going on for a few weeks now and our SOFM will be starting this Wenesday. This week Houser will be teaching in the DTS about discipleship and I'll be starting to full-time staff the SOFM. I'm so excited for this school to start and we have been spending quite a bit of time preparing for the students to come. This one is going to be Tibetan Buddhist focused, meaning we will be working mostly with students who have a heart to go to China and Bhutan. Right now we have 9 students that are coming and there is a lot of expectation in our hearts for the next three months.
It has been officially ten years that a base has been stablished here in Shillong and this month we are going to have a 10 Year Celebration Party. There are so many people in the area that have helped us and poured their time and energy into this place, and many more that are no longer here that have helped to build and establish this base. So we are going to have a small program and dinner and celebrate what God has done in these past ten years and try to honor those who have played key roles. It's exciting.
