Yesterday, we began by joining the pastors and their
wives for their morning devotion. Words cannot describe how amazing it
is to pray with them and listen to them worship God. We then
journeyed to Teta to do vacation Bible school with the children there. As a craft, we did coloring sheets and made colorful crosses that they
can hang as ornaments. The orphans are so poor that these simple things
captivate them. Even the older children love to use crayons to color
pictures. Jack Archer shared the gospel complete with object lessons.
It was clearly evident they enjoyed the time that we spent with
them, because a little girl tried to get on our bus to leave with us.
Our first day of VBS at the Hope Center was cut short, but the children
still enjoyed playing games and doing introductions. God is definitely
moving in the hearts of the children and our team.
We interviewed one of the orphans and the details of his story
broke our hearts. He shared about his parents dieing, about his
abusive caretaker who would beat him, and how a grandfather finally came
to his rescue and got him connected to the Hope Center. Wish you could
have seen his smile as he told about how much of a difference the Hope
center has made in his life.
It is so amazing to see the passion and love the Zambians have for Christ and it has been such an inspiration to us all!
