Being that tomorrow will be Easter, we thought it would be a good idea to do a small devotional with the orphans at the Bill and Bette Bryant Center. The children and I rehearsed the story of David and Goliath and then performed in front of the orphans. Since most of the children only speak Nyanja, the house mother, Eva, translated while Kerri read the story. They all seemed to enjoy the reenactment. After David and Goliath, we read the Easter story.
Afternoon Birthday Celebrations:
Today, we celebrated Caleb and Maddie’s birthdays. Caleb is now 7 years old and Maddie will be 1 next Sunday. Kerri baked a couple of cakes and invited some of our fellow missionary friends and their children over to play. It’s hard to believe just how fast children grow up. It seems like yesterday that Caleb was just a baby.
Evening Outreach:
This evening, Steve Allen invited me to go with him to Kanyama. There was a local church that was showing the Passion of the Christ video for outreach. Steve and I were there mainly to help setup and provide the projector and movie. A small miracle happened while we were there. The DVD player we were using had no remote and we were unable to turn on the subtitles for the DVD, Being that the movie was in Aramaic, the people attending probably wouldn’t be able to fully keep up with what was going on. After about 30 minutes, someone arrived with another DVD, but this one also had no remote. The neat thing is that when we turned it on, it defaulted to English subtitles and voiceovers. The event went really well. There were about 300-400 in attendance. One of the pastors gave a gospel presentation after the video to which several people responded.
