That’s what you play when you don’t know the Swahili words for Duck, Duck, Goose.
Recently, we have stumbled upon an orphanage run by a lady named Alice. The kids at that come here are orphans because their parents have died of AIDS. It is apparent that some of them probably have the virus as well. Alice keeps the kids during the day and feeds them if she has money, but sends them home to other relatives to sleep. She teaches them English and about Jesus. The situation of these kids breaks my heart.
The first time we visited they were very reserved. The new songs, games, Bible stories, and white people were overwhelming to them. However, since that first time the kids have openned up more. They smile and get excited when they see us coming. Now they even hug us, not wanting to let go when we leave. It has been a blessing to work with Alice and encourage her in her ministry. Please pray for these kids, Alice, provision, and health.
God continually is breaking my heart for these people. They are so giving to us. Yesterday on the way to the orphanage, John our translator, bought Jessica and I some sugar cane. He has nothing and wears the same suit everyday. Also yesterday,Estee and I went back to visit one of the Muslim ladies that accepted Christ. She walked about 10 minutes and back to get us some cool drinks. The Tanzanian people are amazing. God has shown me so much love and compassion through them! Please pray for this country and that God’s glory be revealed more and more here.
Ok now for the good part, the pictures…
