For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 2 Corinthians 5:14&15

AWESOME GOD
We are seeing so many answered prayers already. As a group before coming we prayed for specific people tyo pour Christ love into and He has placed some a mazing people into our lives. DAnmike and Kevin mety this boy (17yrs) named Godknows (dont you love that name) he is an orphan from zimbabwae. He has nobody here and has been spending all his days with the guys of the team. Asking lots of questions about Jesus and really taking in all that He is learning. He is also a b-ball player. He has a lot of potential so we pray that the words of Christ take deep root into his life. That little boy that I was telling you about named backie - he is an amazing boy. he plays with logan everyday asfter school and he can speak english which is rare for little boys to speak. he has a lot of charisma so our prayer is that we would be able to meet his family. Christina is a single mom that I have been getting to know. she was just baptized a month ago and is so eager to learn about Jesus. Many of us went to different house churches last night. So powerful to seek after God with our African brothers and sisters. A lot of the girls in the group went with Missy yesterday to meet some children that are orphaned or that will be soon. Their parents have died of AIDS or are dying. It was an emotional day and a lot to process. One of our prayters is that we could use the extra money that God has blessed us with and use it for these children. My time is running out on the internet (everything is timed) so i need to sign out. Blessings - Marcy
