Wow only a few days

Hey everyone,

We have only a few days left. THe entire team returned from our adventursome weekend. God used the conferences to bring people to himself and challenge others to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Our students did a great job in their various activities. Kyle and Rachel K. led their whole group in morning devotions which is more like a sermon and worship than what we do with devotions at home. James and Drew were asked to train their group in Bible study. Reports of all were that they all did wonderfully.

Tuesday
We went to an orphanage and helped feeding 550 kids yesterday. It was hard and wonderful all at the same moment. The kids loved playing with us and were so sweet. Many of them seemed to be a bit malnourished and they were all very small for their age. Jacob was bigger than 12 year old kids. Their meal was one cup of rice and they seemed to be very thankful for that. The ministry also had a work program for widows. The widows were taught to sew and knit and the things they made were sold in a store in town. Praise God for this ministry that is caring for orphans and widows.

We leave for South Africa on Friday. I will try to update you at least once more before we depart Lilongwe.

Thank you for your prayers
Chris
