The children of Beaverdam Baptist Church filled a shipping
box with their Christian storybooks so that my neighborhood children in Uganda could
have some books to read. While I’m amazed at how quickly books wear out here,
I’m so thankful that the demand for these books creates such a problem. Sheffar
is thrilled to have board books for her little yet destructive hands.
Faridah dove in to the pile and demanded to read on her own.
She’s not interested in hearing me read anymore. It seems that no matter what I
give her she can easily devour the text. She’s also discovering that most of
the stories are the same (Noah, David, Jonah, etc.). I explained that because
the stories come from the Bible they’re true. And true stories are told in
different ways but the essence of the story is still the same…truth about who
God is.
Thank you to the children of Beaverdam. You are making a big
difference in your world!
