Not only did we teach the children the Bible, but we were able to encourage all of them to return to that church whenever worship was happening. Many of them only go to school and not church. We pray that God will lead them to go to church with their families.
After lunch several Of our guys joined Tommy at the old orphanage tearing down the old buildings. They enjoyed doing that until Tommy fell through a roof. Then they decided it was quitting time. Tommy was just fine, although Payton thought he was dead.
The rest of the group spent the afternoon at Children's Hope playing with the kids. We got one on one with the children and read them books in English, teaching them English vocabulary. It was awesome seeing how smart these children really are and how they flourish with special attention. We also gave them a tiny toy propellers that they could spend high in the air. The leaders will be picking propellers off the roofs and out of trees for weeks.
Now we are fellowshipping and resting at the Alabama House. It just so happens to be Troy's birthday!
Our students are wonderful and God has brought a great bond of unity between our group. It truly is an example of the body of Christ. Yesterday as we were deconstructing, every student picked a different job and did it with joy, even if they had never torn down a building before.
We are Excited to have one more day, but are sad that it will be over all too soon.
