So this is what pressed down, shaken together, running over
can look like. Wow, TWO boxes arrived full to the brim with gifts collected by
New Life Christian Fellowship specifically for my little neighborhood children
(and there’s almost another full box waiting for me still). Time was short
between receiving the gifts and leaving for Kenya but I managed to organize and
give away everything you sent. To each girl her dress, and to each boy his
shorts. To each family its soap, and school supplies. To each child toothbrush,
toothpaste, crayons, and coloring books.
But the other children in the neighborhood, the ones who
visit occasionally and live further away, learned about the gifts and came with
hopeful hearts. Your generosity enabled me to share crayons, toothbrushes, and
toothpaste with them. They went away satisfied for having received the love of
Jesus through you.
Sheffar refused to release her bag full of goodies until
well after I left home. Farida called to tell me she wanted to talk on the
computer so I could see her dress. I’ll show pictures of the kids all dressed
up when I return to Namulanda.
Thank you so very much for your generosity. I am truly
blessed!
