love. walked. out.

Today was an amazing example of love walked out... One of the local churches we partner with joined us today in repairing and fixing up the houses in a "community day". There were men, women and youth who came out to sacrifice their time in hoeing, cleaning, planting flowers; really, anything asked of them! Today pastors took up tools and got to work, in a physical way for the Kingdom of God. Surly they will see the fruit of their labors in the months to come.

Why today was so special?... A mindset we have battled time and time again being here is the willingness to volunteer and not expect something in return. Yes, I prepared chai and bread for all of them out of appreciation and love, but they simply came to serve. This is the first time we have ever done something like this without people asking and expecting money or something of equal matter for their time and efforts. Today was a sign of change, a hope for the future. They all sowed into the lives of orphaned children who will be living in these homes of refuge in the coming months. Bon Berger, thank you for such a beautiful example of love. walked. out. All our love...
