QUISTON GAINING STRENGTH 
 
Our 12 babies are all weighed at our food dis­tri­b­u­tion each Thurs­day. All of them are steadi­ly gain­ing weight, and I hap­pened to catch Quis­ton show­ing off his new strength after his Fos­ter Moth­er, Angeli­na, put him on her back to secure him in a “caplana”.
 

Quis­ton shows off his arm strength on the back of his Fos­ter Moth­er,  Angeli­na.​
 
A Caplana is a 7 ft. (2 meter) piece of strong cot­ton cloth that the moth­er uses to secures her baby to her back. This calms the baby, as the moth­er’s walk­ing motion works the same way as the move­ment of a car ride.
 
 
LIFESKILLS TRAINING IN FARMING 
 
Three of our teenage boys are tak­ing final exams this week for last year’s school term. The oth­er 9 teens were busy learn­ing to plant Juko Beans in the prop­er way. The ropes keep the boys mov­ing in a straight line as they plant the long rows. The video below shows it bet­ter than words.

Plant­i­ng is the easy part. The weed removal in the com­ing 3 months will be a bit more chal­leng­ing.  Teach­es patience and per­sis­tence!
 
 
STAND UP AND WALK
 
GENONO, 70, is the old­est church mem­ber we have. He still works by mak­ing bas­kets for our moth­ers to use in food prepa­ra­tion. He loves to vis­it me, and that entails a 3km/1.5 mile walk for him. His amaz­ing strength is proof of God’s pow­er in his life.

When I met Genono in 2006, he could­n’t walk. His friends car­ried him to the tree where we 1st had church in his vil­lage. He lis­tened, received God’s heal­ing touch, and WALKED HOME! He’s nev­er stopped walk­ing, nor does he take his strength for grant­ed, for he knows that Jesus tru­ly touched him. 
 
He is an amaz­ing tes­ti­mo­ny to all he meets.
 
GENONO BELIEVED, RECEIVED, AND ACTED ON IT. GOD’S WORD TELLS US THAT’S ALL IT TAKES.
 
Note: Our chil­dren are all healthy and hap­py. We are now in a 2nd lock­down due to the virus, but there is none in our area. How­ev­er,  this means no large gath­er­ings for the next 30 days, thus no feast.
 
Keep pray­ing for us, and know we are pray­ing for you. Let no chal­lenge defeat you, no mat­ter your cir­cum­stances, for Jesus is always with you.
