Well, as we prepared for our last full day at Naomi's Village, we received favor in that we are able to spend tomorrow morning celebrating with the children. Yea God!
As each of us prepare for coming home, we have mixed emotions as the Lord has touched our hearts in so many ways, but we know His ways are to be true. "As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the Lord is flawless, He is the shield for all to take refuge in him." 2 Samuel 22:31
Today was just another beautiful day a Naomi's Village. We hopped right in and started painting the last wing. All were joyful to be finishing this project as it was all for the sake of the children. It was nice to see all be so filled with the Spirit in all that they were doing in their love and care for the children. In the afternoon, the children received their craft that they made yesterday, which were crowns that they decorated with a lot of ingenuity and they accepted them with great big smiles. It was also great that we did not have to say our goodbyes today. Once again, Yea God!
As the Lord calls on us to reflect on His Word, it will soon be time for us to reflect on what God has opened the eyes of our hearts to. "Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles." 1 Chronicles 16:12 From the moment we arrived and saw all that He was doing to now has been wonderful! Listening to Bob and Julie Mendonsa and their heart and passion for these children was totally authentic and I could only think of how they were clothed in the splendor of His majesty. Psalm 93. Developing relationships with all the staff is only to be described as magical. As for each member of this team, it was once again beautiful to watch all of them to be so enthusiastic in serving the children in every moment at Naomi's Village. What a experience on Sunday going into Nairobi and into the slum area was heart wrenching. Listening to the children in the the Red Cross tent praying the Lord's Prayer, to a tent with people who in which serve for those who were burned by the explosion and visiting the sight of the devastating explosion was really touching to the heart.
And not to mention the Wells of Joy Church in the slums and how they worship and praise the Lord. Amazing!
As for the rest of the week, we thank you so much for keeping up with us and for all your support and prayers. Thank you so much for being united with us on this mission of God and "For the sake of the Children!"
"Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
