Interviews, Meals, Well, Funeral and Baptisms!

14 November, 2009
This morning we were able to start a little more relaxed, with a good team time, worshipping Jesus and prayer for all that's going on. There was no electricity, but you don't need that for prayer!Then some got a chance to check out the market and get their artifacts!
Then into the fray. Groups went to Mabatini, Airport and Pambogo... with the aim of finding the children who had not turned up previously. It was very effective and now 92% of the all the children who are sponsored have been interviewed - and the majority of the 8% are those at secondary boarding schools who will be home in December and Richard will organise the local team to send through an update and a photograph.
We never like to campare teams... but this lot have worked very hard and done a fabulous job.
We also had people at all the feeding programmes today. They helped out, lead songs and generally got involved with the kids. It's inspiring to be at these times because they show en masse all that's being achieved.
Then Sharon (who is OK but still suffering with aches and pains) and a few others went back to Swaya and had the privilege of meeting with a community elder. After discussion it was agreed to sink a new well for the village.
There was a funeral today for a church members daughter. She was aged 5 and fell into a pot of boiling water... No words, are there?
Tomorrow is a big day. Church... then we'll all parade down to the river for baptisms of all the new people who have come to know Jesus! Extraordinary and wonderful!
