Slow-slow, the pase of the Africans! The way they live there life is something to take after. They walk and talk and be so at such a slow pase. Never in a rush or worry about things. This is something I love and hope to learn from. Things have been so wonderful here in Jinja Town. The team from Yobel Market has just returned home so now I will be really starting to connect here and find the way! The people here are incredible, there kindness is unheard of and there devotion is so intense. We have been traveling all about the town to the many different ministries here and about. People are really making an impact. We all need each other.
Today the first women of Subbi received a bank account. Natalina was so over joyed to have finally be able to hold her money in a bank safely. The account was free to open up she just had to have a certain amount to open it. She has 11 children under her and is always smiling. Such a wonderful women of God. The gift is so small but yet it is a day that she will always remember!
Last night was my first visit to the boys home. The ministry is Caring Place and is about a 2 minute walk. There about about a year ago some westerners came over and saw the need of a place for street kids. They connected with a gracous women Sarah from Rawanda and took the start. The boys they took in had been living off the streets. They range from 5-13 and there is 15 boys they care for now. They rent a house and teach them and play with them so that they will stay. They love soccer and games. Some have run away but the most of them have stayed for food and a bed to sleep. It is incredible the things that are able to be done here. That is just the gist of the organization but things like that just keep showing up! But there is never enough so much help is needed.Be inspired pary for Him to show you what you can begin!
Because of the oppression of the weak and the groan of the needy,God will rise Now! Psalm 12:5
