July

Half a year's gone ...

All the three homeschooled girls have passed their end of school year exams very well.

From September Hannah and Sarah will continue their education at home under the Wrocław Christian School ARKA. Abigail, Ben and Reuben will attend the Poznań Christian King David's School.

Asia will continue teaching English in King David's School.

Dale should continue teaching English with business companies.

Please PRAY for one main contract still to be signed... Due to management changes in this company where Dale teaches (the main source of our income), English classes there may also be affected.

For 3 months (maybe more) we will have a Christian lass from St. Mary's Reigate staying with us for her gap year. She will do some English teaching, mainly assisting Asia in King David's School, as well as being involved with a children's club run by our friend Bernarda for children from difficult homes.

PRAY for her safe arrival at the beginning of September and good adjustment to Polish culture, her new responsibilities and to our big, noisy and messy family :)

Holiday time!

Military Zone for Dale, Hannah, Sarah, Abigail and Ben - 8-10 July - history re-enactment weekend - from Medieval times to the 2nd World War.

Royal Rangers scout camp - 14-25 July. Our 4 older children go, and we go as staff. The theme is the "Ranger's Apprentice" series of books. A scout camp with a medieval theme.

PRAY for:

-organisation and administration - organising a scouts camp under EU safety requirements would be a challenge for Gen. Baden-Powell himself :)

-time spent on adventure, as well as character training, team work and following the Lord

-good weather

-a high percentage of the camp participants will be children from areas affected by the floods earlier this year - pray especially for them that this will be an opportunity for them to learn about God's love and care

Family trip to England - 31 July - 22 August.

We will be in Dorking the first 10 days, staying at Nick and Marie Goddards' house, visiting St. Paul's on Sundays: 1st and 8th August.

10-17 August - visiting Dale's family in Nantwich, Cheshire
18-20 August - visiting friends in Lincoln Baptist Church

21 August - back to Poland

The last week of August Asia will be busy at a Christian teachers conference in the South of Poland and planning the next school year.

PRAY for:

- safe travel
- time spent well with friends and family


"Home education in Poland"



We've just received our copy of a newly published book in Polish. It's a compilation of articles and testimonies of Polish families teaching their children at home. One of the chapters describes education at the Taylors' - written by Asia!
