What a day!!!!
Tuesday has come and all but gone, but not without incident.
During team devotions on Monday evening, the team had been impressed by the need to share their faith with the child headed family at Lowero. Cutting a long story short, every member of this family (5 kids, the eldest aged 16) , expressed their desire to know Jesus in a personal way and committed their lives to Christ, led by the team. Following this joyous event, they took the team a short distance into the forest to show where their parents were buried (both died of AIDS). As this little family is all HIV +ve, their future in this life is not at all rosy. However, we can rejoice in the gift of eternal life made freely available to all in Jesus!
The team returned from Lowero fatigued, but grateful for the chance to share practical and spiritual help in a difficult situation.
In the evening, the staff from Kiti joined the team at the guesthouse for dinner and a bit of Norn Iron 'craic'. It was really good to meet with the staff again - they shared with the team the blesing that both the work (painting th staff accommodation) and the love shown to the kids had affected them. The team would hope to provide some form of ongoing support to Kiti and propose to try and fund the installation of an electricity supply to the school (costs are being investigated). The evening concluded with some singing and dancing - an excellent end to an excellent day. Moreover, after the staff had left, the team learned that one of the staff who had previously expressed an interest in Christianity had committed her life to Christ, led by one of our team during the evening.
So, all in all, quite a day!
Tomorrow (Wednesday) the team hopes to visit a project designed to reach street kids. I will try and update you on the happenings of the day on our return.
