We attended a couple of church services today in the area, making connections with local pastors as well as ministers to get a better understanding of the Linda Compound. I found a new and a better appreciation for the church's in this area after giving about 3 sermons the past few days to have the word of God opened and hear what God has laid on someone else's heart.
We hope that the Lord may use these connections in the future for us to work with additional churches in the near or far future. Time and time again the lord has laid on my heart to stress to the community here about the importance of the Body of Christ, and how together we can meet our spiritual, physical and mental needs. It's become evident at least for now under the spirit's guiding, that nothing that it's going to be the motivation of the locals that we get any of these projects done. For it's they that can't pay $$ for their son's education, it's they that have to live with a meal or 1/2 a meal a day. It's them that end up in bars as they are bored out of their minds. They have no job, and can't seem to get off their different addictions. As much as my observations are present, I think it's time to rethink how we work.
Tomorrow we are sitting down to go over some of the finances of this organization. On a side note, the soccer team won its game today at a goal in the closing minutes. during the celebration all of the players ran over the corner that Bianca and I were standing and celebrated in a sort of huddle around us. It was quite an interesting way to be mobbed by a group of players.
