Hello everyone! I hope all is well in missouri!!...
So far Africa has been a completely inspiring experience! Seeing how the people here live versus the way we live in America is both amazing and awful at the same time! Today while preaching about selfishness, the pastor asked the children to raise their hands if they had eaten food that day. To my astonishment, only 1/2 of the children raised their hands. So many of them have swollen bellies from lack of food. It is so sad to eat with them watching you with their wide, starving eyes. It seemed almost ironic to me that the pastor was preaching to them about selfishness. They have nothing, yet are content. I have everything, but I still want. I complain about not having enough clothes in my full closet, when they only have a pair of ripped-up clothes. This week God has been working in me and the people around me in unbelieveable ways! I've seen a whole different side of several people that I didn't even know existed. Please continue to pray for the Our Missions Team!

It is hard to imagine little children not eating. We are so wasteful with our food. I know that even here in our cities in America there are hungary people & children. We are praying for all of your team. BEV & VSA
