Today was wonderful!
It started off with our daily morning devotion with our team and Mama Victor. This started our day off well and we were all prepared for the long day ahead!
We all piled into our two vans and headed up to the house where we greeted the girls and began the day with worship, VBS lesson and a fun craft. Worship with the girls has been so moving for all of us as they all have some of the most beautiful voices on the planet. Even late tonight the songs they sang are still stuck on repeat in my mind.
Once the morning was finished we had a wonderful lunch and our fearless leader, Dave, showed up after leading a small leadership workshop with the Courage Executive Team bringing with him Kayla (our Global Outreach Leader) who will be visiting us for the next couple of days! With Kayla and Dave we then broke up the girls into smaller groups and rotated them through games of kickball and sharks and Minos and a dance group. We then ended with another worship song and said our goodbyes.
Leaving the first courage home, we headed to a Wednesday night church service with incredible worship and two sermons which one of was taught by Dave! We came away thinking about the hope we have in Christ regardless of the circumstances we are in and that “our faith is is the assurance of the things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
After this service we ate dinner with a group of older girls at a second courage house who are transitioning out of the program. These wonderful girls had several children who we all quickly fell in love with. We were given a tour of the courage house 2 and then reluctantly said our sad goodbyes and headed back to our hotel to get some sleep!
Despite this being our longest day yet, it flew by and we found ourselves wanting the day to never end.
Thank you all for the prayers as they are all so needed! If you could specifically pray for protection of the girls who we are able to work with and that they would be able to overcome the mental hurdles of trauma and hurt in order to succeed in their ambitions. They are all such beautiful girls who have some of the greatest dreams!
Bwana Yesu Asifiwe! (Praise Jesus!)
