Are You Ready?
Ready for a ministry update? I hope so cause I’m SUPER excited to tell you about this month!
Team Clutch is serving at a Non-for-Profit organization out of Arkansas called Esther’s House in Ntcheu, Malawi.
What is really cool about this is that our ministry hosts here are FROM Arkansas! There are three missionary families here currently. David and Catherine Wilson, and their kids Zander, Granger, Esther and Asher. Titus and Ashley, and Tyler and Leah.
Ashley and Catherine are sister’s and so it’s been cool to see how they bond has grown through this ministry. Tyler and Leah are also new to Esther’s House. They arrived on Sunday, April 2nd and we, Team Clutch, arrived Monday, April 3rd.
Our ministry this month is kind of scattered all over the place. Esther’s House is actually a really large campus with a girls dorm, boys dorm, huge kitchen, indoor lunch area, library and chapel. For me, this actually caused some concern as to how I would get around all month with my knee, but God is SO good! As I said in my previous blog, I couldn’t keep the crutches I was given because I was leaving the area. Well, Esther’s House is set up with a pretty great medical closet and in that closet was a pair of crutches that may be slightly too big, but they do the job. They also had ace wraps!
I’m still taking it easy so as not to overdo, but I’m thankful for the ability to get around the campus, as well as still being able to do ministry.
Ministry!! That’s RIGHT! That’s what this blog is ALL about! So, there are different ministries here and my team is trying to help out where needed. This past week of ministry for us was really cool. Part of my team helped make lunch for the 60 kids who have lunch on the campus every day, others helped organize the kitchen, a couple others also helped to organize their library. My teammate, Elise and I, however, got to homeschool David and Catherine’s kids!
On the afternoons of Tuesdays through Thursdays my team and I help out with tutoring the kids, reading to them, or playing with them. On Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, we teach Bible lessons and spiritual development classes.
We have a packed ministry this month, but it’s been amazing already. A cool part for my team is having a kitchen and the ability to cook our own meals. This has not happened for the majority of my team at all on the Race. It’s been nice to be able to cook meals together as a team.
So I apologize that I’m somewhat all over the place, but I appreciate all the prayers.
Till Next Time,
Kara Faber
