Today we will host a party at the Grandma-Grandpa House to celebrate the October birthdays of the senior residents. While Team Faith is decorating for the party, Team Hope heads to the clinic to pray with those awaiting treatment, and Team Love stops by the orphanage to pour some love on the babies.
The entire mission team converges on the Grandma-Grandpa House later in the morning for the party. When we come together we are given assignments: I am working with a group decorating tee shirts we will present to all of the residents. Others are praying with the seniors or putting up batting and balloons for the festive occasion.
I leave the party around 11:30 am with the group who will be serving at the soup kitchen. We get word that the party turned up and turned out AFTER we left.
In the afternoon, teams head out to do construction, distribute food in the village, and pamper the elderly. No one answers at the first two homes where Team Faith attempts to deliver food. Unfortunately we can not leave the food so we find other people in the village to bless. At each stop we take the time to talk with the residents, ask them if they know Jesus, and pray with them before we leave. Team Faith heads to the orphanage after the deliveries but have to chill out for a little bit because the school-age children are in the midst of completing their homework which is a must BEFORE they can have playtime.
Judith, one of the older girls who lives at the Teen Girls Home asked me to take her picture…how could I resist.
