Love

We've learned to love in many ways.  We've also learned to receive love in many ways.  Our team has been so very busy the past two days in completing buildings by completing a roof, setting up computers, and painting.

We completed another day of vacation bible school where we talked about God being in charge.  We discussed leprosy and made masks to remind the children to set their eyes on Christ.

We continue to grow to love these children at Agape as well as the children in the surrounding area.

Girls will be girls.. Africa or USA!

 

Today was a very special day.  First of all we celebrated by surprising Mrs. Sherry with singing and cards for her birthday.  We had to say goodbye to our teammate Nate, due to circumstances back in the US, but pray for safe arrival back in AL.  At the end of the day, we baptized our friend Mosa who was Muslim.  His name is now Moses (You change your name to a biblical name when becoming a Christian).  Two other children from the orphanage professed faith in Christ and were also baptized.  The children were beyond excited!

 Went in as Mosa...

 Out as Moses!

Zima (also Muslim) came out Mary!

so excited!

I apologize for the lack of updates and information... Just know that we are all working so diligently that we are exhausted by the time we return to the hotel.  Not to mention that power is not consistent meaning internet is scarce.  I know that everyone here is taking many pictures and we all look forward to sharing them and our thoughts with you.  Again, thank you for your prayers and support.  I hope you are able to see the fruit of your labor.  We are able to be a light shining in this place...just as the children of Agape are a light to the neighbors around them.  

What better way to end the day than with a little African dancing??
