New Kids Are In

This will be very brief (haven't had power for the last week and still don't), but 14 of the 16 new kids arrived in the village yesterday to much excitement -the others will follow soon. A long day in the bus was spent collecting them, and this was followed by a clean-up and the giving out of new clothes, then a fabulous welcome supper of Rice and Beans, followed by sodas and lollypops.

We prayed for the kids and robert gave one of his great welcome speeches, and the whole of the village sang worship songs and prayed together.

It was one of those really, really, special times.

God be praised.
It is so good to see another group of children being saved from the cycle of poverty.
