Well Baked

Its been a tiring couple of weeks.

• We have started a kids church in the village on the border of Dr. Congo, (great fun and exhausting)

• you will have met my new dog, Mackie, last week, 

• we are working on ideas for developing the Orphans Project next year (we are opening a bike fixing business for our older kids in February 2013) 

• we have seen 9 people healed by God after prayer in the last 2 weeks.

And I have also started baking bread everyday because its easier, cheaper than shopping in town and they taste nicer.

Today's Oat and Carrot rolls

Yesterday was the last day of school for some of my kids and Brian, one of the grade 12’s came to see us in the afternoon.  As he came in the door he dropped to his knees and clapped his hands (both signs of respect here) and emotionally explained whilst kneeling how grateful he was that he had achieved his dream of finishing school. 
He is an orphan from a very poor background who has been staying at one of our 3 “older kids houses” in town and attending one of the local high school for the past 3 years. Brian has done really well at staying focused on his dream of becoming someone and having enough education to get a good job and provide for any family he may have in the future. 

It was very touching to see him now, a grown man so aware, mature but also so grateful.
