We made it here safe and sound!
After a long and gruelingly bumpy ride, we made it to the most beautiful place on earth - Jireh Children's Center.
Its located on the top of a huge hill surrounded by the greenest everything you could ever imagine.
We were welcomed so warmly by the children. They had songs and dances prepared for us, and we were blown away by their love, and we have been every day.
We started on construction of the shower houses today - a LOT of digging for the foundations. Some of us taught in the classes at the school, and we all spent a lot of time with these beautiful kids.
Thank you for your prayers! Its so encouraging to remember that we have all of you at home praying for our team.
Our internet connection is pretty unstable so we'll try to update as much as possible, but we're never sure.
Thanks for praying! Don't stop. :-)
Love,
FCA

Thank you for the update guys! I'm so glad God has gotten you there safely and I can't wait to hear all the great things He does through you. Keep us posted! We're praying for you!
You guys rock! I am so jealous and get teary-eyed every time I think about you guys. I pray every time I think about you! I also can feel the love that's going on between you all.
Wow! I know you are having the time of your life, I wish I were with you. Is everyone feeling well? Post some pictures if possible so we can see what you are working on. Hug a few children for me. We miss you and
we are praying for you.
I have heard these things from Hannah in the last few days. She says "the area is absolutely beautiful" and that she taught a sixth grade math class and has made a lot of friends with the beautiful kids there. Today she said that they were shopping for dresses for a wedding for Eva, that they are going to be in! She also said "the food is amazing, but they have not had any chicken feet yet". They have decided not to go on Safari because it would take up two days. She also said that "we are the only white people in the country and people stare at us everywhere we go. They are even on top of buildings watching us!"
Guys you are all lights shining God's grace there in Africa! Know you are being observed and let them see your love for them!
God Bless You all!!!
i love you guys! ahhhh!!! i'm so excited to see what you guys do and everything! we're all constantly praying and wish you the best! ergueoghsnfweo!!
