A fellow missionary Amanda Turner asked me if I would like to help her with a ministry opportunity at the Gaborone Baptist Church on Friday afternoon. She was wanting to assist the pastor’s wife with a children’s program that had been started many years ago through our former missionaries. I was excited for the opportunity to help. The first week there were about 12 that came. The pastor’s wife Ma Kabika told a Bible story and we helped out with the fun and games. The second week, Ma Kabika was going to a wedding and was not able to come. Amanda and I took over. Amanda had crafts that were sent by a church in the states. The kids loved it. We started with 14 and it grew before we were through. I told the Bible story then we played games and sang songs. It was a great day with the kids.
The children are very respectful and eager to learn about the Word of God. I can definitely see we will grow fast. We hope to continue this opportunity and look forward to it each week. I am planning to get some pictures of some of them so you can see their faces and begin praying for them. If you would like to donate crafts for them please email me and I can let you know what is needed. Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
