She's the lady....

Biwi... our new community this week.

What can we expect? How many widows and children will come? These were our questions when we headed out at 7am this morning. Well, what a surprise! There were 80 children, 23 widows and we can expect 25 teachers for training on Thursday. WOW! As you can imagine, we were kept very busy teaching, playing, cooking, and building relationships. Tonight we are preparing for the 25 teachers who will come for their professional development on Thursday. So exciting to see the widows, teachers and leaders taking notes during our teaching and nodding their heads when they agreed with the points we were making.

As the foundation for our teaching of the week, we taught the armor of God concepts. When we were done, Mabel, the executive director of Women of Action Ministry, asked for the teaching material because she wanted to use it for the discipling she does among the widows in various communities. It's encouraging to know they believe the material is relevant and will be used in the future.

At lunch time, the children ran in anticipation to have their bowls filled by the lady in blue.

Our youngest member Sara, was embraced so much by one of the women who has a son for whom she felt Sara would be the perfect wife. This was all discussed under the shade of an African tree.

'Til tomorrow,

Lydia for the team
