Ministry Day 2

What a wonderful 2nd day of ministry!

Group 1 of Steve, Kathy, Greg, Robin, Ricky and Lucy headed back for their 2nd of 3 days in Hope Fountain ministering to the pastors, ladies, church childrenʼs teachers, and school teachers. There are many villages represented including a group around 200 miles away and one from the border of Mozambique! The ties we collected were shared and what a site that was...they were so exctied, like kids in a candy store picking out their favorites! The women will get their gift bags tomorrow, our last day.

We are amazed at their worship and at their hunger for the Word. We hear high reviews for the teachings of Greg, Steve and Kathy with the ladies. She told us they had an amazing time of worship on their own after the men left...as Kathy said, “As the men ʻgot downʼ this morning in worship, the women ʻgot downʼ after they left! There is an amazing bonding going on...todayʼs womenʼs seminar ended with prayer first for the widows followed by prayer for the mothers of young children.

Robinʼs childrenʼs teachers really opened up about questions they had in organizing and training their children...her day seemed much more productive and relaxed as they all got to know one another. The teachers and her join together and do Bible club to the children, many who are orphans. Itʼs neat to watch the teachers teach the curriculum she planned. They have had about 80! Lucy spent her day in grade 0, which is our kindergarten, helping the teacher who had 44 children on her own that day!

Jason spent the day essentially with another mission team here from Australia and England doing construction on one of the orphan homes we visited on Tuesday. Kay continued to spend time with Tinashe and his caregivers. Pray as she feels they still are having difficulty understanding how much he really can accomplish and if they will continue the work with him after she leaves. Traci did her second day of Bible club at the orphan home which Kay said was “fabulous!”

Thank you for your continued prayers. Traci will continue her ministering and Bible clubs at the orphan homes while the rest will be at Hope Fountain so Jason and Kay can experience the worship and ministry going on out there. Pray for rest, perseverance and continued cohesiveness that the Lord is building amongst our group...we both laugh and cry a lot together!
