The low down

Sorry I wrote these next couple posts a couple weeks ago but have been unable to post them.

Well, I’ve been here a week and a half and am finally sitting down to write a little update.

This time around I’ve taken a bit different role since I’m here for a much shorter time. I’m still filling in in some classrooms and doing some tutoring, but I’ve also taken on the titles of painter (which is a little different with the materials they have here), supervisor, carpenter, organizer, cleaner, market shopper, and number of other things as preparations are being made for the tenth anniversary celebration. They are expecting as many as 400 people to be here, amny being government, military, medical and social welfare employees. So a lot is being done to spruce up the place. The kids have been chipping in and working hard too.

Reforging relationships with the kids has been fun and in many cases encouraging as in a years time they have grown changed and matured (some J) I have missed sharing in life experiences with them and it’s exciting to see how some prayers I’ve prayed for the kids and home have been in the past year have been answered.

This next week will be more of the same, and we will be joined by a few more “obronis” as more people arrive to help with and be here for the celebration. It is going to include tours of the home, food, and a program with many of the kids have musical numbers, bible verses, military drills, and short speeches to perform for the people coming.

Some things you can be praying for are:

·      Preparations for the celebration, that they would come together and it would all be for God’s glory

·      That the other summer team members would arrive safely with their luggage

·      Continued health… I’ve felt great so far, but have seen that change quick around here.

·      One of the dorm mothers has a 6 month old grandson who nearly died the other day. We rushed to the home, took him to the hospital, and he has been staying at the home and seems to be doing some better, the boys are loving him and love to sing to him and pray over him. Please join us in praying for his continued and complete healing.
