This past couple of weeks Andrew has spent most of his time at our new house. We have been so blessed by people who have come along to help. It really feels like the end is in sight. This week is a big one. We're hoping the kitchen will be installed by Wednesday, that the carpets will go in by Friday and our stuff brought out of storage by Saturday. It's easy to say it in a sentence and yet there is a lot still to be done. Certain people have gone way beyond the extra mile to help us and that has been so overwhelming and amazingly encouraging. We are so excited at the prospect of unpacking boxes and settling into this new phase of life and ministry.
The team had a really interesting week. The weather was awful and so some of the planned activities didn't happen. The schools work was fun but the main focus was probably the drama production on the Thursday evening. Kids at school got flyers and just about every home in the village got a flyer through the door. The team prayed for 40 kids and put out the seats in faith with no idea how many would turn up. It was such an encouragement and faith boost when 41 kids and 6 adults turned up. We really feel like we need to think about planning more kids' work. Pray with us about this over the summer and please pray too for people who could come along and help.
SU has finished for the summer and the mums and tots group will finish on Tuesday for the month of July. The team will have some planning meetings as we look to the future.
The bible studies continue. Another guy who became a Christian at the Friday night youth club has started coming along. The questions that are being asked are so refreshing and it is good for the 'older' Christians to go back to the basics for a bit.
