More than 30 children are in the back of a pickup truck, some other children are running from the village, school vans, motorcycles, and cars are stopping by the gates, bringing their children. All these children don’t want to be late! What is going on? They are so excited to come to the evening camp because here they learn, play, make crafts, have a simple snack, learn about God, and how to make right decisions in their life! By God’s grace and guidance, we had a great opportunity to have a camp and once again to plant a seed in young hearts.
Thank God that right for this week He send us a young devoted couple, who helped us with the program. Almost half of these children were from the small village, up in the mountains, where they don’t have many opportunities to go out. You would see big smiles and joy on these small faces. They didn’t need any toys to make them happy. The biggest joy was just to come and to participate in all the activities; older children were very active in memorizing Bible verses. It was a big blessing because the next week all the schools were shut down and don’t have an opportunity to organize any summer program. Thank God for His perfect timing!
It is a dry season here and many houses are lacking water, our children need to do their laundry in the river and bring water for the house. For many families where the home garden was a big help to provide food for themselves face now a very challenging time. Together with you, our Church, we could make small food packages and deliver to some families in need. For some, a big plastic bucket was a big joy and blessing because they can store water in there. We prayed together and asked God for His mercy to send rain on our land. Please pray for God’s perfect timing that the rain would come, because most people in our area are farmers. We are very thankful to God for having water in our church and house; even though we had a few days when we didn’t have water.
