Three Generations

Father – Daughter – Grandson:  Tim – Charity – Noah

In July we had a family of 3 generations come to serve at the Village of Hope.  Tim is my first cousin, lives in Kansas, and returned this summer to help us.  Last year his daughter, Charity was here also and she returned this year and brought her second born son, Noah. 

We can make a huge difference to following generations.  Tim has always had a heart for missions, which he has passed on to his daughter, and now is being passed on to his grandchildren.  Noah quickly entered in to the life of the Village and he was always out and about with the children who live here.  He helped measure the height and record the weight on all 240 children at the school when the team did the physicals.  He and Roman became good friends, a friendship that I expect to continue for many, many years.  His life will never be the same because he spent 2 weeks here in Zambia.

Over this summer we have had 5 young women, beginning their adult lives, who will carry with them the time they spent in Zambia at the Village of Hope.  Their lives will never be the same and the decisions they make for their futures will be informed by their experiences here.

We all need to pass on to those who are younger the call to be World Citizens of the Kingdom, giving and caring and serving members of our family that live around the world.  You are never too old or too young to be involved.  This summer our visitors have ranged in age from 7 years old to 81 years old.  Everyone can make a difference.
