Dear Praying Friend, Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Years ago when the PhD program at NEGST was just a dream, a key part of that dream was that the students might be able to work in a world-class library for an extended period. Today, the PhD students arrive in Cambridge, England, to begin six weeks of intensive research, data gathering, writing and consultations at Tyndale House Library which is located in the heart of Cambridge. It is without doubt one of the very best biblical libraries in the world and has an excellent staff.
Of course the students took the cheapest flight to London which goes via Dubai. This means an extended stop overnight. So here they are sleeping on the floor in the airport!
But sleeping on the floor in an airport is something that many students know about! They are a hardy bunch.
Pray for them as the first few days entail adjustments to a new culture (English, not Kenyan!), new foods, new attitudes, new perspectives and a marvelous library. Tyndale House staff have gone out of their way to welcome the students. The Lord has opened doors for the students.
More later,
Chester & Dolores
