New group, new adventures

A group of 13 arrived in stages last week from the Austin Stone and we have been quite busy! Some of the team were here last summer, but all of them are jumping into the ministry here, loving on kids, doing VBS stories and games, playing with the kids of all ages, visiting the sick in the villages, and otherwise having a great time. One of the great things about this group is that they have a spirit not only to minister to the people here, but to find ways of fixing their problems. We have a nurse who has been handling lots of medical issues all week. We have lots of people who are always thinking about ways to solve problems - bringing water to one village, feeding another one, etc. I'm really enjoying this team and the time is sure flying by. I hope to be able to post more thoughts soon, but I wanted to leave you with this picture. There are lots of poor, poor people in the villages we serve. All of them have clothes for their kids, but sometimes either they don't make them wear them or the kids take them off. Either way, there are always naked kids, and this one is quite adorable.
