Greetings from Joy Town.
Psalm 139:14 - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Today in our hearts especially there was real joy in Joy Town. Lots of tears, but rejoicing in the smiling faces of over 300 happy children. We were greeted by Francesca, the spiritual leader of BethanyKids at Joy Town.
It was nearing lunch time so we visited the primitive kitchen where a meal of rice and beans was being completed for lunch as greens were being prepared for dinner. Food is cooked in kettles over a wood fire. The gifts Jackie has been collecting were presented to Francesca and the BethanyKids Joy Town team, and we toured the classrooms and met the children. The school has a new Head Teacher who has made great strides in improving conditions for all the students but especially the severely handicapped.
We will have lots to share when we return, but we came to bless the folks here and came away being the ones blessed.
After tonight we will be off the grid for 3 days. Look forward to seeing our family soon.
Gary & Jackie
