Hello from Africa! Today was another amazing day hanging out with the Dreamland children. We brought new toys and games including Legos, K’Nex, Jenga, Tinker Toys and Twister; they were interested and drawn to them right away. We spent all day loving on and interacting with the children; it was great!

They also put on a ceremony for us that included dancing and sharing scripture to say thank you and goodbye. At the end of the ceremony, Lance took an opportunity to provide encouragement; he encouraged everyone to thank God and not us for what all He has provided for them.

After the ceremony, we all had a feast together with the children. It is amazing to see all that God has done and continues to do at the camp for them. Seeing the older children step up and lead excites me! For example, a couple of older boys are taking on bigger roles, spending most of their time working on construction projects around the camp.

I anticipated going into this week and connecting with the children. One thing I did not anticipate, however, was how God was going to use the children to show His love for them to me. I’m excited to see what God does through this next year!
