When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,

because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a

shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful

but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to

send out workers into his harvest field.” – Matthew’s Gospel of

Jesus, Chapter 9 verses 36 through 38 (NIV)

See for yourself

I haven't yet been able to write about the second Fellowship Day which occurred Saturday. Although the energy level was noticeably lower than the first (a predictable symptom of having mostly 14-18 year olds one day and mostly middle-aged adults the next), the connections made between the children and the missionaries were still both encouraging and fun to watch.

The day operated much the same as the first: getting to know the My Father's House children by doing crafts, playing games, having a bible study, and listening to testimonies. The connections that were made were special, and I pray that these missionaries begin their second mission when they get home: pleading the cause of the orphan to their home countries.

I could write more about what happened that day, but I felt it more appropriate to simply allow you to see for yourself.

    Middle-aged???? I was initially offended, then realized that technically, I am middle-aged. Bummer. But my energy level on this day was low because I had almost no more emotional strength--it wasn't about physical energy. Others I talked to said the same thing. We had given so much love to our Camp Hope kids that we wondered if there was any more to give that day. But there was! It was just a calmer, more low key kind of love. Still Christ's love, by the power of His Holy Spirit, not relying on our own middle-aged strength : ). It was a joy to be in Chongwe with all of the kids!! Thanks for all of your work in putting that day together. Tiffany
