Cistern progress, Garden, and Praise and Prayer Requests

Great week with People's Church group
We were blessed to have a great group of men come from People's church in Toronto to work along side some local men to build cisterns.  They did a great job and got the walls all completed for 2 of the 4 cisterns.
The local men from church have been diligently working since the group left and if all goes well they will be pouring the top of the first cistern tomorrow. 

An added blessing from the People's church group, was that one of the men knew how to tile very well.  He willingly spent the week tiling our downstairs bathroom.  It looks so much better then the blue plastic that used to be on our walls.  Thank you Ken!

A couple weeks ago we were blessed with a nice hard rain.  The group left this kiddy pool and the kids enjoy filling it up when it rains.  They place it under the leak in the eaves trough and hope for the best.  It sure provides lots of entertainment.

 

Garden:

It is such a blessing to have a nice vegetable garden.  We have been enjoying swiss chard and red beets for a couple weeks now.  Several pastors have seen our garden and at least one is hoping to have his local school start a garden for the school kitchen and also to teach children about plants. 

Robert loves the red beets!

Praise and Prayer:
* Praise for the rains that we have started to receive
* Praise for the relationships that we are starting to build with the people who are working with us right now.
* Pray for those who are lost around us.  During this Easter time several who are not Christ followers are celebrating Jesus' death.  For the past two days we have been hearing the drums and chanting.  It is a constant reminder to us to pray for those who don't know Christ.
* A group of young men have asked Kyrk to start an English class on Saturday afternoons.  He has found a curriculum that uses the Bible to teach English.  Pray for God's clear direction as this class begins next Saturday and that there would be opportunities to share Christ with these men.
* Pray that God would continue to send rain.  Most fields in this area have been planted with the hope of rain.
