| Arriving on the footpath from church looking at the back of the home |
 |
| What was once the kitchen |
 |
| The new makeshift kitchen built from the reamins |
 |
| The boys home |
The main house, having roofing from the kitchen used as a wall that had been knocked down, the roof being held up by a few center posts the side walls draped with plastic.
Once learning that it was an orphan children's home the hired help decided maybe they shouldn't be knocking it down.
Martin, Ruth and the kids are doing much better. They are very grateful for the prayers and support given by all! In the service all they could do was think what if God had not brought our teams here with the backing of our churches? What if there was no new home for the children to go to, or no one to get them there? Though they suffered they still rejoiced, in the knowledge and faith that the Lord Jesus Christ is their protector.
Shortly after the kids arrived at the site God reminded me of what Paul wrote, and could be seen from this situation.
We exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5: 3-5)
Once again to everyone who has given support, whether it be financially, in prayer or in the sweat of your brow, this family sends their sincerest heart felt love and gratitude!
