know and go

this week we started our projects!
it feels so good to be done with training
and finally going into the places for which we have come for.

the main project i will be working with it called the
SOS childrens village.
This is a village full of houses with 8 kids per house and each house having an 'auntie' -
someone that is in charge of the house.
Many of these kids are disabled from abuse or were ignored and orphaned as small children.
Many have never experienced true parents in their life.
Many i am not sure why they are there, but each has a story, a story that i believe God wants desperately to be involved in.

so we come to spend time with these kids.
to invest in them
to discuss
to teach
to laugh
and i pray our relationships will be honest and real and trustworthy.

the problem is many of the girls stopped coming last fall after an issue with something
an intern said.
so we have our work cut out for us.
we have to rebuild trust and relationships
please pray that God will guide us interns and give us wisdom and tacktfulness
in what we do and discuss with them
pray more girls would be drawn to come
pray that God would use us to make disciples out of these kids!

3 girls came monday night
but pray for more each time we come
and that God would do even greater things through us!

boundaries

God has none!
and how grateful i am for that
because these kids need
hope
raw hope
real hope
hope that will illuminate every darkness they have experience
and our God can go there!

our God cannot be contained!
