God is faithful!

Thus far the LORD has helped us – 1 Sam 7:12

October 3 was a special day at Lampstand Language Center. After two blissful years  of classes, learning God’s Word, and building relationships, we arrived at the closing of the English program. The program ended with thirty graduated students.

 The students are really thankful for the opportunity they had at LLC to learn English, and hear God’s Word. Below are some of our students’ comments:

The course added a lot to my life.  Were it not for this course, I would know very little about the English language.  So this course is a victory not just for me, but also for all LLC students, I bet.  Thank you. (Bruno)

Course strengths: (English) practice and conversations with classmates in English. Another really strong point was the Word of God.  Thank you. Weaknesses? None, I  think (Italo).

The updated and diversified way of teaching is the plus point. Great clarity and knowledge of the language is a hallmark of each teacher. Easy to understand Contents (Raimundo).

The qualified teachers. The material was very didactic, and helped us a lot (Nate).
