CSI in Jordan

“My heartfelt thanks goes to CSI for the great work you are doing with our students. Not only did we receive great reviews from the students participating in the courses, but I have personally seen a difference in the lives of students who participated in them.

“We can heartily recommend CSI training and materials because of the impact it has had on our students and in the ministries they are responsible for. It has helped effectively address what we feel is one of the biggest voids in the lives of students growing up in the Middle East, that of character development. Participants not only develop in their understanding and application of essential character issues, but they also learn how to effectively pass on what they have learned in formal and non-formal ways.

“Character development is at the heart of any true endeavor of education for any age level. Unfortunately, it is most conspicuous by its absence in many published materials today. Thanks CSI for filling this gap with the training and materials you provide.”

- David M., Assistant Academic Dean of JETS, Jordan

July 13-Aug. 1, 2006

Skip and Jan Garmo taught CSI materials in a one week class entitled “Character in Leadership and Education” at the Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary (JETS) in Amman, Jordan.  There were 12 students from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and southern Sudan.

Skip and Jan also met with two teachers from the Whitman Academy in Amman. They are very interested in CSI in the future. They have 12-15 teachers on staff and the school is for grades 1-12. All the students have to be foreign passport holders.
