We got caught in a down pour this morning. We were on our way to church in the slums. It began to "fall" & fall hard. Everyone stopped what they were doing and found shelter until we had gentle rains. We had a lot of rain throughout the day.
The church has new people coming. We are so happy to see faces that we've prayed with throughout the past weeks. The Lord Worship Center has only been established in this area for 3 months. The church moved from its previous location so that they could have more room. This morning I spoke from Gen 18 "Giving God Your Best".
There are many days I skip lunch, it is common here in Africa, but today I ate. I wanted to cry when a mother of 3 small children brought me a hot dish of food after church. It was a mix of beans, corn, potatoes & cabbage. I know she did not have the extra to give but she gave anyway. It was a true gift from the heart. Her husband recently kicked her & the 3 children out into the streets with only the clothes they had on their backs. Presently they are living in a little room attached to the church. She hasn't any income and jobs a hard to find.
Mark 12:44b ...but she out of her poverty, put in everything- all she
had to live on.
