: Children needing dresses

One of the things we like to do while we are in Africa is work with the children as we distribute the little dresses for the girls and shorts for the boys. Whenever possible we conduct Bible camps, using games, stories, drama and songs to teach the message of Jesus. We have noticed that loving these kids and smiling works in any language.

Buckets of Hope Home Visits

Thursday, August 13, 2009

The Chief of the village was our gracious host as we distributed the “Buckets of Hope” to the patients with AIDS to love and encourage them while on a trip to Malawi, Africa. The buckets full of a new fresh towel, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush as well as sugar, oil and rice were received with great joy. This distribution was done under the direction of a group out of Marysville, Hope Endeavors.
