From pinwheels, to young boys handling the tools (yes, saws and drills) and hours spent in hardware stores (they do not look like Home Depots here) it has been an interesting day.
We tried to get out early from our guest house and hoped to be at the school by 9 a.m. but 4 hardware stores and a few hours later we got to the school about 11 a.m. We did get many of the supplies we needed to prep the shower building for a new floor, getting paint for the inside of the church and John and Gregg used their work force of 15 boys helping them to hang three lights for the facility.
After school let out, aside from the time working on projects, time was spent just loving the kids, doing Bible story time, praise songs and making pinwheels (and the video will make you smile of the children running and having their new toy spin in the wind).
The shower facility is something to behold and after a very intense cleaning we hope to put in a floor that allows for better draining...so pray for great weather so we can complete this project in the next 2 days. The painting of the church is for all of us that do not have the skill of John and Gregg (more like Tim Taylor-Home Improvement) and we hope also to complete that in the next 2 days.
It is a true privilege to be here and watch God in action with these kids and the people who support them. In 1 John 1:1, it talks about "we have seen with our eyes and what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life". It is so impactful to watch and act and know the love of God is in these children.
Thank you for the support LCF has shown our team. We are blessed to be here.
Rob Miller and John Skillman
