Praise and worship all day!

Sunday we got up and had services again in our home. It’s so nice to actually understand the message and get something out of it! Then we walked over to the Academy and played on the field all afternoon until dinner time. Again the kids had a great time and they love the tennis balls! I think we may have to get more of them since everyone wants one to play with. I was talking with a couple of them and they are acting like “normal” kids now. They don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, if they’ll have school books or if someone loves them. Here those daily necessities are taken care of and they know they are loved. Now instead of worrying about those needs they are putting their efforts into their studies. Last term they ranked #3 out of 27 schools in the district (compared to 26th the previous term)! They are seeing God’s provision in their lives and are trusting Him to continue to take care of them. We talked about the new building and praying that God will finish it, but they had no doubts it would be finished by God’s will. So what a joy it was to watch them play and de-stress after a long week of school. Those are the blessings I see from being here and the blessings I pray will be evident at Mercy Child Foundation and Eldama Ravine Children’s Village as we continue working with them through your support and God’s leading.
