Pilot Project

A hope runs deep inside me

To see the Karen (and many others)

Thrive in this land called Canada

Deep roots in You, Lord

And a growing fluency in English

Is the path I choose to pursue.

This month is a new beginning

On many fronts

But for me it begins a Bible study

That puts people deep into You, Lord

As they also go deeper into Your Word in English

Lord, may we see a breakthrough

No generation needs to be sacrificed

For the next

In You, Lord--each of us can thrive.

Hope Bible Institute

A freedom that is new is filling me

Bringing joy

That will move me forward

Into the dream of twenty years--

A school

That initiates thriving

By bringing minds and hearts deep into Your Word

And tongues fluently into English

The plan is simple

The speed is slow

The guide is the Holy Spirit

Through the Word

Let's go!

Language

Language acquisition for a new home country

Provides a challenge for refugees

It often comes down to work versus language

Since the jobs to be found with poor english

Aren't jobs that increase language fluency

How can we tackle this inequality?

The first generation here . . . isn't to be lost

Thriving is possible

Thriving is doable

Thriving may simply need a little help

Something to study

On an ongoing basis

That uses the language

But is focused on ideas

Through the difficult language

--Then language growth is unmeasured
