To give you a feel for his working life at CEP, Stephen kept a log one day:
- 7:20 Leave home
- 8:00 Arrive at CEP
- 8:15-10:30 Teach OT class
- 10:30 Help a visiting lecturer
- 11:00 Class discussion about poor man who came past seeking help
- 11:30 Fight with photocopier (we have no secretary)
- 12:00 Attend to the poor man who returned
- 12:30 Fight with photocopier (did I mention we have no secretary?)
- 12:45 Help Victor Silva, a pastor and CEP graduate, who arrived to arrange buying books
- 1:30 Start to win p’copier battle
- 1:50 Lunch & prayer with students
- 2:50 Photocopier surrenders
- 3:15 Admin (in my role as acting academic dean): phone calls, emails, etc.
- 4:15 Organise reading material for one subject
- 4:45 Begin thinking about the class that I was hoping to start preparing at 11:00
- 7:00 Arrive home
With only two full-time staff this year, there are constant set-backs and frustrations. But the fruit we have seen in the students is well worth it!

Give Thanks...
- That the CEP board has recently approved the hiring of a secretary, which should ease the faculty’s admin workload
- For an encouraging turn-out at the CEP women’s get-together last Saturday
- For some promising initial conversations about Jesus with neighbours in our new street
Please Pray...
- For CEP students who are sick or recovering from operations (Kike, Marisol, Pancho’s sister)
- For CEP student Rodolfo and his wife Angelica, whose apartment was robbed. His laptop was taken, with his 18 months’ worth of CEP notes
