Me, Cat, and Devin
So we finally had the JWC, our last time to spend with most of the people we were ministering to. I unfortunately got sick(food poisioning, i think) and I was unable to attend most of the meetings or really spend a lot of time with the guys. However it was still an awesome time, because of this reason, all the men in our Bible study that came to the JWC, confessed Christ and wanted Him as their Lord and Savior, even after understanding the challenge that an easy life is not promised, but a life to the Full! I'm sure this is a fruit of your prayers! It's also encouraging to me that the Gospel goes forth and changes lives even while I was sick. The Lord's gospel is not chained!(2nd Tim. 2:9) All in all I believe we saw around 10 people claim Christ! It is our hope and prayer that they would do nothing but grow closer and close to Him, and make decisions in light of the Word, and live lives that glorify His name, as lights of the world(Matthew 5:16)!Since the JWC, we have been going to the Church here and doing work needed to be done, and have spent two days going into different orphanages here spending time with children and just trying to love them, and share the gospel in that way. One family that runs a childrens home here, does it independently of the government and gets its funds from supporters. This family is actually from Holland, and they just have a heart for these children to grow up in an environment were the gospel is taught! It has really been a great experiencing hanging out with these kids, who have little hope, but receive through the Love of these people who give thier lives to run these shelters! 2nd Corinthians 1:3-4 "3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
