BAWANA GAMES REMATCH ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD

Catholic Sis­ter Ligua (Lee-sha) and her Youth Team have been prac­tic­ing their BAWANA GAMES, and demand­ed a rematch. These excit­ed young­sters brought their friends, mak­ing for a BIG CROWD!

 

Open­ing cer­e­mo­ny. Our team on left. Catholic team on right.

About half of the 120 that showed up had nev­er played before, so after the big com­pe­ti­tion we went “back to basics”, let­ting the new kids give it a try! They found out that bal­anc­ing a bean bag on your head isn’t so easy while run­ning full speed around a circle!

And the race is on!

As a child, I remem­ber what it felt like to be “left out” just because I wasn’t “on a team”. My goal with BAWANA GAMES is for EVERY CHILD to get in on the fun!

Tug-o-war finale for young teens.

After­wards, a group of our chil­dren pre­sent­ed a cute Bible Dra­ma that taught the chil­dren how to pray for each oth­er when sick. A FUN DAY WITH JESUS ATl ITS HEART!

(After devo­tions, our kids chal­lenged their “guests” to Super Slide Races.  Of course the girls won because their cot­ton skirts slide faster than blue jeans.)

JULY CORN ROLLING IN!

SUPER DRY JULY CORN grown by 17 Pas­tors began rolling in Wed. from the west side of Bala­ma Dis­trict. Once again our Pas­tors liv­ing in remote areas with rough roads not fit for our long bed trucks, found their own trans­port. Those Pas­tors were asked to bring in their corn ahead of time to be weighed and pre­pared for pro­cess­ing on July 9th.

The corn is rolling in!

We now have 1,250 of the need­ed 2,500 sacks in our barn.  Makes life a bit eas­i­er for our staff this way. This com­ing week, THANKS TO OUR FOOD DONORS, we will once again be “up to our ears in corn” so that orphans will not go hungry.

Keep those prayers com­ing, as we hope to fin­ish this pro­gram in 4 days if pos­si­ble. That will leave only the RICE to fetch lat­er this month, leav­ing our barns full to the brim!

HOPE ALL OUR USA PARTNERS HAD A FAMILY FILLED FOURTH OF JULY!  A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!
