“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" - Matt 19:14

 

Wednesday July 22 - In the morning, we were packing up  backpacks with school supplies in preparation for our visit.  We had the joy of visiting a local school and spending time with the kids. We led them in a game of “human knot”, enjoyed some laughter, sang some songs, shared the gospel story and gifted them with backpacks and school supplies sponsored by our various supporters back home! The children were so grateful for this time. It was sad to say goodbye. We invited them to join us again for upcoming children’s day camp and youth events in the coming week! Praying the kids would get a glimpse of His love through our team. - Joanne

We spent the morning packing 100 backpacks with pencils, sharpeners, crayons, rulers and notebooks. Working efficiently like an Amazon assembly line!

And then visited a local school to donate these backpacks. At the school, the principal explained there are 750 students. With our limited supplies, we were only able to visit 3 classrooms. 

These students had some knowledge of God and Jesus. We began with prayer and sharing the gospel, singing songs to them. We were then blessed by them, singing a worship song back to us and we prayed through the Lord's prayer together.  We met one of the teachers named Glory, she's a believer and asked for prayer for grace and peace as she teaches the students - who can be rowdy at times. 

They giggled as we played Human Knot, laughing through the tangled limbs. - Anka
