Day 2
Our second day in Area 2 for VBS was great. It's such a joy to see the children's smiles and excitment when they heard the stories, played the games and had craft time. Also to see these precious children praise and worship Christ is something to behold.
We also went out into the community for home vists. There is a program called "Bring the Light" where a hole is cut into the tin roof and is replaced with plexy glass. It represents the light of Jesus. Between the two teams 5 homes were done and what a transformation is, just as Christ when he's in our life. In a home we were in yesterday we taught a simple way to purify water. A home we were today the women told us that her neighbor taught her this process. Her neighbor happened to be the home we were in yesterday. How encouraging.
Tonight the Kamau's opened their home to us for dinner which was wonderful. We also had entertainment by David. We had time to spend with Mary. She talked about the impact Lois' work has had and will continue to have for years to come. She updated us on the boys dormitory at Joska and future plans for Missons of Hope. They have such great faith.
Oh, I almost forgot. We had great conversations at lunch at Area 2. We will be going to wedding on Saturday...guess who?
God is Great!
It is so wonderful reading your updates. Barely a year ago there were just over 5000 students in the schools and now there are well over 7000 including a new high school. I love the vision of 125,000 kids by 2017! Think big, pray big and God will deliver. That vision will not just change those lives but change the entire country in time....God Bless you all (PS who is the wedding for?)
ReplyDeleteThe Kamau's are awesome and David is the best entertainment around. If their vision is 125,000 kids, then I don't doubt they will get there! Wow.
