владИМИр варИКашаЯ очень рад, что вы изъявляете желание молиться о сту-дентах, и хотел бы попросить вас молиться о моей семье. Я и моя жена живем в пригороде Киева, в с. Крюковщина. В связи с болезнью, которая есть у моей жены, она не может зачать и иметь детей. Мы ищем способы и лекарства, чтобы преодолеть ее и просим у Бога в этом водительства и мудрости, но как скоро произойдет выздоровле-ние или исцеление, и произойдет оно вообще, мы не знаем. Это очень огорчает мою жену, так что она не-редко унывает.

Мы понимаем, что Бог лучше знает, когда нам послать детей, но, как часто это бывает у нас, людей, - нам трудно переступить через себя, свои чувства, желания и сконцентрироваться на Боге, о чем проповедо-вал Джейсон Гупта на библейском часе.

Помолитесь о том, чтобы Бог дал моей жене силы дове-риться Богу в разрешении этого вопроса.

vlADiMir vArikAshAI am very glad you desire to pray for students and I

would like to ask you to pray for my family. My wife and I live nearby Kyiv in Kryukovschyna village. Due to physical illness of my wife we cannot conceive child. We look for ways and treatment to overcome it and ask God for guidance and wis-dom, but we do not know when and if healing will occur. This grieves my wife so she often feels depressed.

We understand that God knows better when to give us kids. But as it often happens with

people, it is very hard to step over our own selves, own feelings and wishes and instead to concentrate on God. To do what Jason Gupta recently preached in KTS chapel.

Please pray for God strengthening my wife to trust God in these matters.



серГей ЮрченКоСпасибо за молитвы и переживания которые вы испытываете за нас.

Я прошу молиться о моем молодежном служении в Церкви “Надежда” и особая просьба молится о подготовке и проведении моей свадьбы которая состоится 5 мая 2012 года.

sergey yUrChenkoThank you for your prayers and concern about stu-dents.

I ask you to pray about my youth ministry at Hope church and special request to pray for preparations to my wedding planned on May 5, 2012.



андрей баХовецМного времени уходит в работе на предприятии, поддер-жка семьи. Но очень мало вре-мени остаётся для служения в посёлке за городом. Пришёл к выводу, что больше будет пользы, если оставлю работу.

Прошу поддержать в молитве:

Чтобы Господь послал мате-риальную поддержку (вместо работы на предприятии).

Чтобы Господь благословил дальнейшую учёбу в КБС.

Мой друг Андрей Толкачёв из Донецка, просит поддержать в молитве. Попал в тяжёлую ситуацию. Приобрёл домик, чтобы не только проживать с семьёй, но и создать там группу по изучению Библии. Но теперь бывший хозяин с риэлтовой конторой хотят вер-нуть домик назад.

AnDrei BAkhovetsMost of my time I spend working at plant, providing

for my family. I do not have much time left for ministry in a small town located nearby my city. I came to conclusion that it will be more beneficial if I leave my current job.

I ask you to uphold me in prayer:

For God’s material provision (since I plan to leave my job).

For God’s blessing on my con-tinuing study at KTS.

My friend Andrey Tolkachov from Donetsk, asks to pray

for him. He is in difficult situation. He purchased a house for his family and planned hosting Bible study group there. But former owner cooperates with realtor firm to return the house.

What skills do you wish your students had prior to taking your course? Reading comprehension, time management, listening, note-taking, critical thinking, test-taking? Let’s face it, most students could benefit from taking a course in learning how to learn. But who wants to take a study skills class?

My solution: sneak study skills into your class along with the content.

CoUrse strUCtUre:• Select a textbook that has learning aids (study guides, online materials, and/or audio files) and

encourage your students to use them.

• Craft your syllabus carefully. By setting the right tone, you can motivate students.

• Design clear, meaningful assignments that enable students to accomplish course objectives.

• Space the workload out evenly throughout the semester.

• If students don’t master an assignment the first time, give them constructive feedback, and the chance to redo it. You may not want to do this for every assignment, but doing it for one early in the course “sets the bar” and encourages them to do quality work.

teaching strategies that help students learn how to learn By sara J. Coffman


the first week:• If your class is small, set up interviews with students individually or in pairs to find out why they’re

taking the course and what they want to get out of it. Not only will you learn about who’s in the class, but you’ll increase students’ commitment to work hard and communicate with you. If the class is large, use email to collect information about students and to establish connections.

• Talk to students about how to study for your course. Give them a list of study techniques recommended by students who’ve taken the course and earned A’s.

• Early in the course, have students use their textbooks in class. By using class time, you acknowledge the book’s value. If you can’t afford class time, have students do a homework assignment that they can’t complete without using the book.

• Offer students time management suggestions. Let them know approximately how much time they should spend on the course each week. Talk about how daily study keeps the information fresh and helps avoid cramming. Show how longer assignments can be broken into small pieces.



teChniqUes for teAChing:• Start class with something that gets their attention and then quickly review what was covered in the

previous class.

• Show students “tricks of the trade,” or how you learned the material. Talk aloud when you solve a problem. Show students what you do when you get stuck.

• Provide a partial outline and have your students fill in the missing material during the lecture.

• Leave five minutes at the end of each class for students to check their notes with those of their neighbor, review major ideas, and indicate what they thought was important and why.



testing tiPs:• Assign study groups prior to the first exam, have them exchange contact information, and require a

one-hour study session outside of class. Help them be more productive by providing a study guide and/or sample test questions they can submit for bonus points.

• Give students frequent tests and constructive feedback throughout the course.

• Give a practice test before the actual exam so students get a feel for the types of questions you ask. If you use essay questions, share an example of an A, C, and F answer.

• Take class time to go over the first exam. Talk in detail about the questions most often missed.

• Have students analyze the first exam, or quiz, by writing you a memo that responds to questions like these: Was it harder than expected? Were any of the questions a complete surprise? If so, which ones? Were there any questions you didn’t understand or found confusing? If so, rewrite them using your own words. What one change are you going to make when studying for the next quiz? What study strategy did you use that worked well?

These simple strategies teach students learning skills that will make them better students in every course.
