This past weekend eleven people from our Home Office stayed with us in the village and we hosted two of them, the chairman of the board, who happens to be a lawyer, and RC Sproul, Jr., who followed in his father's footsteps to become a pastor. Having a pastor, a lawyer and a seminary student (Richard) at the table always made breakfast very exciting.
On Saturday, we coordinated with a partner church for our guests to meet with the Widows' Program. One of our ministries is to purchase arts/crafts from widows and other poor women, and then sell their handiwork in the states so they can earn money to support their families. One very cool you-should-be-jealous part of my job is working with the widows' program to select and order products. I have been praying for an opportunity to meet the widows directly and watch them make such beautiful things. I'm so grateful God answered that prayer on Saturday!
Here is a video of how our meeting started. The women greeted us with "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross" sung in Kikuyu, a local tribal language. The video is kind of long, so enjoy as much of it as you would like. More posts in this vein to come!
