How Great Is Our God

This week we have been more active in creating a schedule so we can go to Danai and Father’s House daily. On Tuesday we went to Father’s house for the afternoon. We played bingo, read books, colored pictures, and played other games. The past few times we have visited Father’s House, a little boy, Takunda, has been playing with me. He loves for me to listen to him read and color next to him. All the children and volunteers were coloring in a circle, when Takunda began to singing. He sang African worship songs, Father Abraham, other songs he learned at Sunday school, and How Great Is Our God. It was so precious watching him sing. He had the sweetest voice. It was so great watching a little eight year old boy singing and coloring with such joy and compassion. 

We still haven’t taken pictures with the children at the homes. We are having such a great time building relationships and playing with the kids that we don’t want the cameras to be a distraction.  I took pictures of pictures of the children from a folder we have of both orphanages. So far, each week we have spent two days at Father’s House and two days at Danai. On Fridays we go to St. Catharine’s (the school for children with disabilities) to help with their assembly. For this weekend we are planning a Father’s House Weekend Bash. We want to have the children and Mary from Father’s House spend the weekend at our house. We are planning on reading stories, playing games outside, having a movie night, celebrating Mary, having a braai (bar-b-q), and making smores.
