Friday, July 26, day 9 of our African Adventure
We went back to Sekute School that we had previously been on Mon & Wed.  This would be our last time to see the kids.  We told them the story of Christ's Death, Burial and His Resurrection.  And just as He promised He did return and would again one day.  We have been teaching them to trust God no matter what and in a country like this, that could mean; food, clean water, parents, being HIV negative and everything that we take for granted in America.  We were able to pass out bibles to 6th-9th grade and their teachers.  For those who donated school supplies, we left many items here and they appreciated it so much.

This afternoon we meet with leaders from  2 different orphanages.   They shared their journey with us and we were able to share about Church Under a Bridge in Tyler.  We had various similarities in victories and frustrations.  But we all said that our God has a purpose for each of our lives and when we listen and follow that path, there is no where else to be. Each of us came away with personal stories we will share with you as we come home.  It has been a surreal experience to be with these people who have such a heart for God.

Tomorrow is a fun day for us as we leave 6am to go to the Wildlife Park where we will finally see wild animals in their natural habitat.  We have seen baboons and a peak at a giraffe so we all are pretty excited.  Will get back late tomorrow night so there will be no post for Sat.  Continue to pray as our work is not done and we can see it won't be done even we return to America.  Love to you all.
