Nahiroby, our Lead Chef, is talking to his Mom for advice on his AMAZING Nicaraguan meal for us on Tuesday! I am completely endeared that he called his mom for advice!! ☺️

We celebrated October birthdays! If you missed it, we do this at the beginning of each month with the American tradition of birthday cake, candles, and singing in the Undercroft during lunch! Please join us if it is your birthday so we can celebrate you!

What an exciting field trip to Mount Vernon! 🇺🇸

Heather worked so hard to make this experience possible, and Myra was there to make sure everything went smoothly. I truly enjoyed spending time with so many wonderful friends, students, and families.

We are especially grateful to Amanda Isaacs, who works so hard to help us see George Washington with a clearer lens and a deeper understanding of his life and legacy. We are also very thankful to Allison Wickens for giving us such a unique and engaging tour.

It was wonderful to spend time with so many of our great students and their families, explore the different areas of Mount Vernon, see the animals, and learn more about American history together.

Thank you so much to everyone who made the time to join us and help make this such a memorable experience. We are grateful for each of you!

🎉 Happy Birthday, Heather! 🎉

This amazing woman celebrated her birthday last Sunday, and it’s my bad that I didn’t post about it sooner! But I still want everyone to know how wonderful Heather is.

She loves God, she is a great friend, she works incredibly hard, and she loves this community so much. She is always doing her best to make people feel seen, welcomed, and loved. And she loves her family deeply.

There is so much more I could continue to say about her, but today I just want you all to join me in saying:

Happy Birthday, Heather! ❤️🎂

We are so thankful for you and for everything you do for our community. May God bless you with another wonderful year!

We also had great English classes and celebrated the lives of those who have birthdays in September! 🎉🎂

Thank you to everyone who helps make TIPS possible. We are grateful for each person who contributes to making this a special community.

We look forward to seeing you next week! 😊

Yesterday, our beloved Melissa and Rick Messner, along with the Bond Over Bites ministry from Truro, provided a delicious and healthy lunch for TIPS. Thank you so much for the food and for all the dedication and love you put into preparing it!

This was our second week back to classes, and it is such a blessing to see so many of you again! Yesterday, we also heard from Myra during our devotional time about the TIPS mission. After that, our students went to their classes, and when lunchtime came, everyone seemed to really enjoy the food and the time together.

Thank you so much to every person involved in this ministry. A special thank-you to Myra, our director, who has worked so hard to lead us in the right direction this semester, and to Heather, our assistant director, who has also put so much effort into strengthening our ministry and who has such a passion for God and for people.

We are so grateful for this community and excited for everything God has in store for TIPS this semester.

We’ll be in touch. God bless you all! ❤️
