We had a great time with the street kids on Thursday. Chris painted a picture for them while they worshiped, a picture of people walking a path to Christ on the cross. The kids really appreciated it- seeing someone create a painting was something they most likely had never seen before. He gave them the painting as a gift, and the plan is that they will have it on the wall in their chapel. Chris also left them the paint & brushes, which they were very excited about, so some of them can explore their ability to create with that.
That afternoon we also spent with the kids in Kayonza (Faith Home). We were really blessed to have them sing for us. They worshiped and we just enjoyed it very much, as we got to watch them just focus on the goodness of God in their songs.
Our boys in the Home of Innocence are doing well. They call the house father “uncle” and he has been sharing the Bible with them and praying with them in the morning and before bed. They get to play soccer together, have regular meals, wash their clothes, all these things which we consider basics, which were once considered luxuries to them. We continue to have more moms & kids showing up at the office hoping to get their kids sponsored to go to school. We can not register any more at this point, until we get the ones we have registered all ready sponsored. Hopefully we will be able to help more children soon.
We had to say farewell to Chris & Jerid on Saturday (we miss you already!) We are still working on what’s needed to have our container released, as we have not been able to get the paperwork for registration yet. We pray & are believing for that to be released soon, as the amount of time has passed now that they are able to charge us for having the container sitting there. We pray God will work it out soon!
Thank you for your prayers!
God Bless You,
Lisa
