Yesterday

Yesterday morning we had a work morning around the farm. (I posted pictures earlier). After lunch we divided up in our ministry groups and went to three villages. The ninawachi students have been ministering in these villages evey Wednesday.  In the first two village we had about 50 children who participated in our VBS.

The third village was smaller and the community has not been so receptive. Last week the Ninawachi students only ministered to 3 students. Yesterday 13 children came. They were very shy and hardley spoke. As the VBS progressed the children were expressionless. Our TKA students did all they could to bring them love. Little by litte they opened up. As the afternoon progressed the sky got darker and rain clouds formed. Rick (TKA leader) said that he could hear the rain hitting the tin roofs as it approached to where they were. He saw the rain as a metaphor of the spirit of God pouring down on the village. The sky opened up and poured down from heaven. All the children as well as our students played in the rain.
Rick said it was really amazing how the expressions on the children faces changed to pure joy when the rain came.

Pray for these communities that seeds sown will flourish.
