His loving kindness....

My first week here has been...well I don't think I can put it in words. I celebrated children's day, the farm growing many crops where before nothing had grown before and seeing all of my family once again. One big celebration is hearing of all the great things that have been going on with our girls since I have been away. These girls are making life changing decisions to get into school, learn new languages and the best of all...giving their lives to Jesus. There is such a excitement in the air for this next season and just hearing these testimonies makes it even more so!

The beginning of the year I ask you all to pray specifically for one of our 5 year olds, Madelena. She has had many struggles with her health and development. However due to prayer and physical exercise she has learnt how to crawl!!! I could do nothing but laugh and cry with joy when I watched her. God is just so lovely and I thank Him for all He has done in Madelena's life. Here is the video and a picture of her doing some exercises.

I went out on street ministry for this first time this friday and I would love to ask for more prayer covering over this area. Yes there is so much to celebrate Him for, but there is so much yet to be done. So many lives that have yet to hear the good news. When I see two of my 16 year-olds with one man, a demon possessed girl who is so enslaved by her pimps it the worst I have ever seen and a man so full of drugs and alcohol he is ready to beat up a women over a piece of chicken. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed but I know He is in control. It is all about trust. Please join with me to pray for more of His power in this place.

Here is some photos from children's day! Thank you all who gave towards the gifts for our children. It was such a wonderful day full of gifts, food, games and celebration. We had around 4000 people who came to our kitchen to eat that day. We gave a meal of chicken, rice, salad, a lollypop, and a fizzy drink. As I saw the children who live in the surrounding villages leave the base with full bellies and food around their mouth; I couldn't help but thank God for His loving kindness for providing all. He would have done it for just one of those beautiful children.
