BUILD A BEETLE / BISCUIT

Last week we did a fun activity with the girls, we played the 'build a beetle' game using biscuits, icing and various sweets for body parts.

At the beginning the girls all desperately wanted a 6 to get the biscuit to start. Some were getting a bit frustrated, also an opportunity to learn some patience. I was actually the last to get a 6 and some of them began to feel sorry for me.
The biscuits are partially made.... most girls were still excited to complete them.

When everyone had completed their biscuits we took them to the park to eat. It was a fun afternoon, nothing profound, but a great way to build our relationships with them.

Time I posted something, I think.
We always face challenges here, in various forms. Sometimes we do not know what to do when faced with certain situations and we are challenged to pray and then pray some more to affect change. Sometimes we face language challenges and occasionally we face tough, physical challenges.

Just over a week ago 3 guys (including me) went on a visit to a house which is in a place very near to where drugs are sold. This particular house is a house where people use the drugs once they have been bought. The lady that lives there asked us to pray with her when I met her earlier on that day. So, at 8pm we arrived there and entered while some people were smoking 'crack'. They got a little embarassed and then stopped smoking during our time in the house. We prayed for them and Evan (a guy from Israel) shared some Bible verses for them. Also, Isaac (United States chap) had a word of knowledge for one of the men there which we then shared with him outside the house. While we were praying, another person called for the house owner but she said that we were talking about God and if he wanted to join us he could but he chose to come back another time. I love it when God interrupts a drug taking session and turns it into a prayer and Bible study time. Afterwards, 2 of them said that they will go to church now and one of them gave us his address so that we can help him - he did not want to go back into prison for stealing so that he could buy the drugs. It was a great time and the presence of the Holy Spirit in that place was strong during that time. Praise Jesus.
