Up the mountain

Camp finished on Sunday after lunch. We were excited about the possibility of staying on a few hours and heading up into the mountain to the little church Andrew and a team from America had helped to construct. The kids seemed great and it is easier to travel at night with them as they sleep in the car anyway.

The team had been able to lay the floor and pour the concrete pillars (a lot of hard labour!) Since we were there the roof and half wall have been added. Behind the wall there are goats, pigs and chickens. There are times I am glad people don't understand English as as Tabitha loudly exclaimed, "It stinks!!" it was one of those occasions! She did love seeing all the animals afterward though.
This is just the adult group. In the background you may make out the kids' group. There were just as many of them meeting in the house.
They had their own special program after the singing.
The people so appreciate all that the team did to help them. The little church has grown since the structure has been built. One new couple dedicated their baby on Sunday. We thought you might appreciate a little video of the singing and a view of the area. No hymnbooks, no projector and the singing went on like this for a while...
