July 23 Update Part 4

The kids also learned a lot about Africa during the past three weeks. They went to a class everyday also. They got to walk to several of the small shops around the campus. These are called Dukas. They visited a family, a near by school and a coffee bean processing plant.

One night the college students had a culture night. They performed skits about their home villages. They had a student from each different tribe come to the front and recite John 3:16 in his or her native language. There were 9 different languages represented. It is not uncommon for a person to know 3 languages, many know more. Here are the girls dancing in front of all the students during the culture night.


The girls enjoyed dressing up in some of the African customs.


Here are the boys standing in front of our laundry. It was drying on the lawn.

Baxter meet a little boy named Sam. His mom works at the college.
God has such a special way of using children to show his love and kindness. We ask that you keep Baxter, Luke, Tracy and Emily in your prayers.
