Several things have happened or are in the process of happening currently since the beginning of 2012. First of all we brought a new boy into the Home of Innocence. Cyprian was referred to us by the heart doctor at the main hospital here in Kigali. This boy has also had heart surgery, like several of the other boys in the home have, but his family was unable to care for him properly following surgery which meant he spent a lot of time in the hospital with medical problems. We welcome Cyprian into the Home and pray for his transition to be smooth and for him to connect with the other boys as well as feeling the love of God through us all.
We had a visitor from our home church, Heritage Church in Vancouver, WA. Cathleen spent two weeks here and was able to guide the boys in the Home of Innocence in preparing & planting a garden for the home. We are already enjoying a harvest of beans, corn, and soy from the Acres of Hope, now they will also have a “kitchen garden” there at the home to supplement their diets. Little sprouts are coming up already & hopefully I will soon be able to show you some pictures of the garden in bloom!
We have a couple more visitors here now for an extended trip. They are spending time teaching English at one school where many of the children in our sponsorship program attend. They are also spending some time with the boys at the Home of Innocence, helping with homework and enjoying worship with them each week.
We still have many children who are waiting for sponsors. Please pray with us for God to lead people to sponsor a child through Ten Talents International.
For those who may be wondering about an update on the McColm family, I would encourage you to read this post on our family blog.
Thank you for praying with us for God’s kingdom to come & his will to be done here in Rwanda, as well as in each of our lives!
God Bless You,
Lisa
