* On Thursday and Friday of last week, the local school held two days of special classes for the school children. These days were focused on spiritual teaching. On Sunday they were overjoyed to share that several children (approximately 15) received Christ during those 2 days. A huge answer to prayer is that the church is taking an initiative to disciple these children. They have started a special Sunday School class for these children to help them grow in their new faith.
* We have been getting small rains almost weekly. This is a huge answer to prayer and we pray that these rains will continue, so that the crops that are starting to grow will yield a good harvest. As I sit and write this, it is gently raining and our children are outside enjoying God's giant sprinkler.
* Progress on our house continues. We were truly blessed to have Rob and Pat Holloway with us last week. They did fantastic work helping to get the walls finished and painted. Kyrk has been working on the kitchen and it will be a huge treat when the kitchen is completed.
* We have been enjoying lettuce and spinach from our own garden! This is so encouraging to us, to know that we can grow things like this up here.
Prayer Requests:
* For the children who were saved, that they would grow in their faith and for the church leaders who will be teaching the special discipleship class
* Pray for wisdom as all the church leaders from 6 of the surrounding districts come together on May 29 for a regional meeting. Kyrk will be attending this meeting and we are hoping to have a great time of fellowship with these leaders and use this time to talk together with these leaders to find out what they would like to see from us and how we can work together to make a training center for teachers and pastors become a reality.
Fun pictures of the kids enjoying the rain.
The kitchen is progressing well.
