YDM Class #5 Up and Running!

We began our fifth training class on Monday the 2nd of July. We had 30 people pick up applications on Tuesday the 26th of July and we had 20 of them return on Thursday the 28th with their completed applications. We began the interviews at a little after 8:00am. The first four or five applicants had come at 6:30am.

As we sat with each applicant our hearts were torn because we knew we would only be able to accept twelve of them. Eight of the 20 had submitted applications prior to the fourth training.  They returned in hopes that they would be accepted into the program this time.

We completed the interviews just before noon. After letting each one know that they would be receiving a call by the end of the day we sat to pray and decide who got to stay and who we had to say no to. After much prayer and discussion we had narrowed our list down to twelve. We placed calls to the eight that did not make it and encouraged them to try again  February 2013. We then called each of the twelve that were accepted and you could hear the screams of joy and excitement from several feet (meters) away.

We look forward to working with and getting to know the twelve ladies that have been accepted into the program. We already know God is going to do amazing things in this group. These are exciting times for them.... and for us.
