No Trip to KZ Next Year

I got the official word today that East-West Ministries International has decided to cancel the 2006-2007 version of their normal school-year institute, CALTC, where I have been teaching, in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I'm not surprised. Ivan, one of the Russian-track teaching assistants had hinted that this decision might be made. And indeed, the student enrollment had declined in each of the past five years to just 9 students this year. This time off will give the Central Asian leadership time to consider the needs for pastoral training in their area and various methods they might use to meet these needs.

But for the time being, seems my trips to KZ have run their course. Thanks again for your support.
