Getting Ready

It always seems like we are in the packing stage - preparing for the trips takes some time and effort to happen.  Well before leaving for the mission itself, correspondence to the missionaries and translators begins.
What are the current needs?  How can we help?  Where can you use our group, talents, efforts?
Items needed begin to be collected.  Packages and extra weights removed.  Suitcases lined up. Numbered. Tagged.  Weighed.
A big thank you to so many who come along side and donated just what is needed.  We never take lightly the efforts of your hearts and wallets. 
Our suitcases, which become closets once we leave, are filled to the specified weights with just the things needed for the people we go to.

There are so many stories to share of something packed as perhaps an extra gift was "just the thing needed."

Numerous times the things we thought we would run out of became more than enough.

How does this all happen?  God.  To Him be the glory.
And for you who are His hands and feet.
Sharing hope. 
Merci!

Worship Day!

Here we are to worship - on our way to church:

On the main road to our house as we walk to church:

Three kids have to bring a chair for church. If you don't have a chair, a tree will also work!

Making a Papillion butterfly

A new game called "Can you find Isaiah?" 

Fluoride and healthy teeth for hundreds of people.

Fruit bats are big and scary. 

Glad to have Kohler wherever we GO! 

 On the mountain singing.

A day to meet neighbors. 

We always have singing before clinic. 

On the way for street kids waiting for help. 

Taking pictures is fun for all. 

Waiting all alone for clinic. 

Nicely organized and multiplied like loaves and fishes. 

Dreams

Time is going too fast. In our dreams we could stay much longer.

Never ending hand slap game. I don't dare try it.

Feeding program getting started.

We can make a difference.

Lives in this shelter and happy to pose for a moment.

We call the one on left Michael Jordan.

Playing and Building

Some get to play soccer and build relationships while we're doing clinics. This is right outside our door.

Good Days

Have been good days. Tomorrow clinics. So much to do. People so patient. We are stretched. So glad we could fix some computers. Metson is so happy.

Fun with Kids!

Kids bring smiles no matter where you are
