What a beautiful view the Lord let me enjoy in Kipkilion!

Thanks for your great help moving the blocks, boys!

who walk in the light of your presence O Lord." Psalm 89:15

Gabriel has become a pretty good clown.  The local kids love the balloon animals and he's even learned to juggle.

We see this little guy everyday when we drive to the children's home but on this Sunday, he's come to visit.

 

A new picture of the children's home on Sunday.  It's getting very close to the painting stage and then the kids can move in.

Below are several pictures of recent events.  We've had difficulty uploading things to the blog lately.  We apologize for the delay in postings. 

Thank you for continuing to pray for our family and the children at the children's home.  God hears and is faithful to answer!

Sundays

Sundays are always such a great day for us here at the children's home.  It's our day to rest a bit in the afternoon but best of all, we get to minister to so many people in the community.  We hold children's church services and host over 100 kids typically.  Michael often takes advantage of the open invitations to preach the Gospel Truth at churches in the area.  We thank the Lord for these wonderful opportunities to spread the love of Jesus to those hurting and thirsting for the Lord.

1st Chronicles 4:10 "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory!" 

Ladies' Bible Study

We're excited that God is openning doors for Bible Studies!  Last Saturday, Michael, Gabriel, Nicole, Nati, and Danielle went to a youth Bible Study at a local church. 

On Wednesday, Nicole led the first ladies' Bible study at the children's home!  Thank you Sarah for translating for us.
