Just July 4th

Today was in no way the Fourth of July to us; it was simply July 4th. It was just another incredible day of doing God's work. Our plans for today changed very early on, but God still had great things in store. We went to lunch near the source of the Nile River, and then we headed to the Amani Baby Home. We only had a very short time at the baby home, and every moment counted. None of us wanted to leave when it was time, but we had to go to another high school. The kids at the baby home just needed love, and we were happy to give them ours. We went to an all boys high school called Mwiri College, which had kids varying in age from Jr. High to High School. We hope and pray that many seeds were planted and that the Lord's work was accomplished. Many kids accepted Jesus as their Savior after Pastor Geoffrey Crosson's teaching. Tomorrow we will be going back to the Agape Children's Village to play with the kids at the orphanage for most of the day. So far we haven't seen much sickness amongst our team, and we ask that you please continue to pray for our health and strength for the rest of the trip. Thank you!!!

Praise the Lord for all that He is doing! It is so awesome to be apart of the team there via prayer. Would you please tell Geoff Crosson that I said hello and that i am praying for him and you all. i will be gone these next couple of days but will catch up again with you guys no later than Tuesday. I pray that the Lord continues to pour out His Spirit upon all of you and that you would continue to be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. God bless all of you

Just want to let you guys know what a blessing it is to see how you are impacting eternity by your words, deeds, and love.

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
