So today while we were with the kids conducting the VBS program, we found out that some of the kids in the program have not yet given their life to the Lord. I had just assumed that being part of this program they already received Jesus as their savior, not the case. Today Leon helped lead Robinno to the Lord. Praise God. We have prayed continually for healing for him. He has MS and is loosing his ability to walk.
So tomorrow we will be preaching the gospel to these children and doing an altar call. We cant simply assume that people are saved and will spend eternity in Heaven. It is our responsibility to ask and find out. That doesn't simply include these children, it pertains to anyone you come into contact with.
I am fallin in love with these children. They have nothing and everything all at once. We were able to go to some of their homes on Tuesday and see their environment that they function in on a daily basis. Even the poorest person in America has more then these people. We visited Charitys' home and met with her grandmother. She is the head of 15 people who line in about 3 small rooms that are about 8x8 or smaller. These rooms double or triple as bedroom's, kitchens, living areas, etc. They eat whenever they have food. They only have money to buy food when they can find piece work washing laundry by hand. They only have electricity when they put a token in a box. it's like a timer. When their time runs out, so does their light. If they cant find any wash they don't have any money or electricity or food. I will try to post a pic of her next post. She is an amazingly strong woman and so grateful for our visit. I am not on my laptop now. The need is so great here and it cant just be solved by handing out a few dollars here and there. That is simply temporary. The problem is much deeper then that.
Tomorrow we will finish up the VBS program with the kids. They will all receive their own Bibles. Not all of the children are able to read but hopefully they will hold it dear to their hearts till they can.
Pls keep us in prayer for Malaria....there are thousands of mosquitoes and we all have been bit. Last night I slept with socks on my hands to prevent anymore bites. It was funny because I went to bed after Leon did so he didn't see my amazing invention. I woke up this morning and forgot that I had my sleeves tucked into my socks on my hands and he almost fell over laughing at me....I did look pretty funny!!
I hope to post again soon!!!

Thanks for all your details Lisa, in comparison to Michaela's posts. lol. It's so awesome, I take it VBS was only a couple of days? - I am sure the Lord will work and many children will receive His love when y'all present it.
You guys should've brought bug spray!
