What a day filled with God’s blessings.  I know we are showered every day with blessings but I’m talking those out of the ordinary blessings….ok, really there are no ordinary blessings but I hope you get where I’m going with this.

The day started with group photos….remember 15 team members, 5 staff (including me and Chuck) and 29 kids!  I have to say though the kids were great!

Gonna miss these ladies!

C4KK (kids and staff) and FBC team

Chuck and I had another photo opp with all the kids!

Then the FBC team gathered in “the pit” (aka future mission home) to dedicate the project to the Lord.

Standing in the place where the mission home will be built. We will have the stone etched with Micah 6:8 for the mission home.

The team then started their last day of work and Eric helped Bosco cut/pull down a tree…..

Looks like the tree won over Eric!

Later in the afternoon Chuck was given a surprise!  He was shocked and said “this could feed the kids for a month” to which the team replied….”we knew you would never buy one for yourself so we bought it for you to use around C4KK”

This motorcycle will help keep the wear and tear down on the truck (George and Brady can attest to the “wear & tear” on the truck) from those small trips into Joska for supplies.

Towards evening Brady and Shelly wanted to renew their wedding vows…what a blessing and privilege that was!  C4KK’s first recommitment ceremony!

Praying God’s peace to continue being in this marriage! Thank you Brady and Shelly for allowing us to be a part of your marriage!

George (Jr.) made rings out of barbed wire (without the barbs!) for his mom and dad.

It was then time for the reception.  FBC team members made an American meal with Spaghetti O’s, mac & cheese, goldfish crackers, jello, oatmeal squares, pretzels with cheese dip and other American treats.

Most kids liked the menu…it was a bit different (ok, a lot different) for them but enjoyable!

After dinner the kids put on a program with the songs (with sign language) they learned…we have some talented kids!

Mitch and Bonface enjoy the show

So you can see how this was a blessed day…oh and one more piece of luggage was brought back.  It seemed to be a combination of John and Eric’s luggage so most of the valuable items were returned.  Except John’s Starbucks was missing…bummer!

Lord you are the provider of all things, You move people to serve, give and love.  By loving us so much you overflow our hearts to pass that love along to others.  This week has been a testament to You, Your love and glory.  May Your light continue to shine at C4KK…whether here in Kenya or across the ocean!
