Tuesday's activities...

On Tuesday the team split up into smaller groups in the morning. Here's a little about what each group got up to.

Melody, Allison and Helen headed down to the drop in centre where on Tuesday mornings, the Source mum's meet together. They spend time with the MiA family learning from each other and sharing lunch.  Anieway led us in a beautiful time of worship then all the mum's introduced themselves; the team shared a little of themselves and Melody spoke of her experience as a mum and a midwife and what Father God has spoken to her about the beauty of the birth of a child; how the pain of childbirth is so quickly forgotten when you look into the eyes of your wonderful new baby and the joy that brings.  She felt like this was symbolic of the joy that Father God has for each of us; all the pain is soon forgotten when we turn our face towards Him...  it fills Him with such joy :-)



The team had the privilege to pray for each of the Source mum's; it was a beautiful time of prayer, the presence of the Holy Spirit was so amazing.   When asked, all the mum's said they were touched by God's tender heart toward them... Oh & very exciting news... 6 of the mum's asked if they could be baptized next week when we are spending the day with them.




The other half of the team - the girls (Abi, Kitty and Ellie), and their mums (Debs, Claire and Rach) accompanied Mama Flor to the market for groceries for that day's drop in centre lunch.  





Once Flor had everything she needed from the market we headed to the White house on motor cabs (see the pics below!). Hope the Daddy's aren't too stressed by seeing their little girls hanging off the seat of a motor bike!


 
We had a great time helping prepare the vegetables and watching Louie and Flor cook. Of course the tasting was the best part!


   


After the mornings activities we took some time out after lunch to chill out! Later on at 4pm we headed down to the schooling feeding program where we gave out rice to families on our schooling project. Many of them are very poor and would not be eating rice without this extra help.



Here's a picture of the whole team with families. As usual the smiling faces completely won us over!
