And So Much More

 Sometimes you are so close to something that you can't appreciate all that there is.  One of our volunteers here from WI commented the other day to Benedict that there is so much more going on here than just orphan care.  That is so true. 

  • We have outreach – discipleship, skill training, and soon English lessons for our workers.
  • We have the Chimwemwe Ladies Club – outreach to women in the community.  They are being discipled, learning about health and medical information, earning some money of their own.
  • We have involvement with the Okada Community School and outreach to children.
  • And all of us, staff and children alike, are learning and growing. 
  • Volunteers are experiencing God in the context of Africa, hearing God's call, going back to share the mighty acts of God with their friends, family, and church.
  • And now the Community Center opens up all kinds of possibilities.

So there is so much more, and all because God called us to first minister to widows and orphans.  Praise be to Him!
