Hello from Africa! We
headed back to the disabled children’s school this morning. It rained last night and was sprinkling when
we arrived so the children were inside.
We brought color pages and crayons so they would have something to do
while stuck inside. You would have
thought we brought them a treasure, that’s how happy they were. Half of us played with the children and half
of us finished adding the second coat of paint to the kitchen. Tomorrow, we will add a Bible verse to it. At the end of our time at the disabled
school, we had a ceremony and dedicated 6 wheelchairs to the children that were unable to walk. One
parent always carried her child strapped to her. You could see the joy now that she could push
her child instead of having to carry him everywhere. We also gave them some of the donations of
school supplies, wipes, soap, medicines and other great things. They were so appreciative of the gifts. Some of the parents made beautiful gifts for
Jon and Jenni. It was very touching
ceremony. God is so good.
After we left the disabled children’s school, we headed over
to perform our very 1st day of Vacation Bible School. We had about 50 children show up. We are hoping and praying that they bring
some friends tomorrow. The theme was
that each of them was made by God and that each of them was built for a
purpose. Our Bible Verse was: I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14 We sang great songs, made crafts, and played
fun games. It went very smoothly and the
children enjoyed it. The TCA kids did an
amazing job!
Please pray for Jon, Steve, Felix, and George as they have
another meeting scheduled with the government and the head of the
orphanage. Please pray specifically for
wisdom and discernment as they are making some difficult decisions regarding
this orphanage. Please also pray that
our VBS continues to go well and that others will come to know Christ through
us. Thank you so much for your prayers
and support! Candace Redden
