RESURRECTION EGGS– A BIG HIT ON EASTER SUNDAY

With the church­es closed, our chil­dren met in their small home groups. No expo­sure to chil­dren oth­er than the ones they live with. This meant our Youth Pas­tors had to do sev­er­al pre­sen­ta­tions, but it all went smooth­ly, and the chil­dren loved the RESURRECTION EGG PRESENTATION along with the large col­or pic­tures of Jesus and his final act of love for us.

If you’re not famil­iar with these “break open” Plas­tic Eggs, each egg is filled with 1 minia­ture piece that tells the entire Res­ur­rec­tion Sto­ry of Jesus. Starts with the tiny don­key that he rode upon entry to Jerusalem, and ends with the WHITE EMPTY EGG rep­re­sent­ing His ascen­sion. This is real­ly a great tool for teach­ing small groups, so give it a try! The eggs were brought over by a friend from the USA.

We are very grate­ful that all our chil­dren remain healthy and super active dur­ing this time of world health chal­lenges. 

TRIPLET CHALLENGES
Two of the triplet girls born on April 2nd pre­sent­ed with seri­ous health chal­lenges this week. Sad­ly, the lit­tle girl, Ros­in­ha, who weighed only 1kg (2.2lbs.) passed away from res­pi­ra­to­ry com­pli­ca­tions at the Bala­ma Hos­pi­tal Thurs­day night, April 16th. Her sis­ter, Rosa, weigh­ing only 2 kg (4.4lbs) was diag­nosed and admit­ted with Malar­ia. Malar­ia is dead­ly to an infant of only 15 days, mak­ing her sur­vival a mat­ter of intense prayer. She needs a Jesus mir­a­cle for sure.

The old­er TRIPLETS (2 boys and a girl) born on March 15th are look­ing stronger and gain­ing weight. I take my hat off to this moth­er, who is rais­ing these 3 babies with only the help of her young son and daugh­ter.

Keep pray­ing for this fam­i­ly, as the babies are still very vul­ner­a­ble. Since they all weigh between 5 and 7 lbs. (2.35kg to 3.2kg) at one month of age, these 3 have a good chance of sur­vival.
 
LENDING A HELPING HAND

The 12 beds made for the Bala­ma hos­pi­tal by a local welder were ready for trans­port last Wednes­day. We were asked to lend a hand since our long bed 6‑ton-truck could car­ry them all at one time to their need­ed loca­tion. The beds were tak­en to the new Ntete Clin­ic Build­ing about 6 miles (12 km) from Bala­ma, and will be used as an iso­la­tion ward if virus patients present in our area.

At this time there is no virus in our area, and we PTL for that!

TOGETHER WE ARE KEEPING JESUS’ CHILDREN SAFE AND HEALTHY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS AND LOVE GIFTS EVEN DURING YOUR OWN PERSONAL CHALLENGES.

BLESSINGS,
