Helen Ryttersgaard

 

I’m Helen Ryttersgaard and I teach Bible and math in Tokyo in middle school at the Christian Academy of Japan.

Some facts about me:

-I’m Canadian and grew up in the Greater Vancouver area but taught in both Prince Rupert and Golden, B.C. before coming to Japan 

-I spent my first three years in Japan teaching in a small two-room school in Niigata Ken (grades 1 – 8).

-I’ve been at Christian Academy of Japan now for many years and have taught Jr. High or Middle school for all but my first year when I taught grade 5

-I love middle school kids – they are the best!!

Some prayer requests…

We praise God for the 320 families at CAJ this year. Please ask God to bless them as they serve Him here in Japan. Pray that our staff will seek to set good examples for our students. Pray that we will all have compassion for the lost around us, as we strive to be salt and light in a dark and needy world.
