Thanks from Kel and Sharon
Hi again dear Nate and
Becca,
We just wanted to thank you once again for your
wonderful help in
We were encouraged by your service, by your coming so
far especially at Christmas and especially when we weren’t here! We were
encouraged by all that you gave to our community; love, friendship,
encouragement to worship, some beautiful worship times, gems in teaching, plus
leadership. Oh yes, and the Mexican meal and bowling! We were grateful for those
you contacted and encouraged. We also thank you for helping at the orphanage. We
think that you did really well, ministering across the cultures in a totally new
culture.
Thank you to you, your families and to all those who
supported you with prayer and finances and in other ways. Your being in
Thank you also to all those who gave towards the shoe
boxes for the orphanage children. To those who prayed, gave financially, thought
about what to buy, bought, packed….aciu – thank you! The children have been
really blessed by the boxes. We’ve had fun giving out those you weren’t able to.
We loved watching one little boy, Darius, receive his box and scamper away to
his room to examine it in private. Later, he returned to show us its contents,
with much delight.
The boxes showed much thought, as well as generosity. I
guess the prayer is now that the children would know the God who inspired people
so far away to give the boxes. That the children would know Jesus loves them –
not just because of gifts, but because of his giving up his life for them. That
they would know him in this way and also as their friend and helper. Their lives
can be lonely, hard, dis-functional, sad.
Thank you for everything, words cannot express our
gratitude. Su Dievu – with God! Love, Kel and Sharon
