Mission Trip #7

Where do we even begin? It has been such a great week of ministry and relationship building! This morning a truck showed up with 115 mattresses and 115 blankets in preparation to give to the widows tomorrow at their weekly meeting at Shangilia. After unloading everything we ventured out to numerous existing projects including:

  • We went back to spend time with 8 year old Sandra and her family bringing food.

  • We went back to 80 year old Sophina’s, finished her outhouse and bath house. She is blind, so we were able to show her how to navigate everything. She was so filled with joy that she teared up!

  • We finished up 2 more outhouses for the widows, Gladys and Nifrida.

  • We started building a new home for the widow, Rhoda. We hired locals to do the bulk of the labor as a way to give back to the community, but we (tried) helping by mudding the walls!

  • We also began construction on a 4th outhouse project for the widow, Catherine.
