A mission team from Phoenix




In our second last month before the holiday we were blessed to have a team from Phoenix Arizona.
I had the opportunity to stay with them at the YWAM base and drove down to school with them every morning. 
Half of the team members helped at school every morning while the other half especially the men helped build Martha's house and the construction of the roof. They have been building wonderful relationships with the children. The children really loved them.

I have to say the past two weeks has marked an amazing journey of my life, it was truly amazing just to see God's words proven to be true day after day. The words that declares that God is the Father of all. He has broken down the wall of hatred and has united us all as one person and family in Christ. No matter where each one was from we found our rightful place in Christ's unity. I got to see and live that out with an amazing team from "Sweet Home Arizona, where the skies are so so Blue!"
 They have been such a blessing beyond words. And I deeply thank the Lord for the living hope that they have brought streaming out into the Community Hope's kids. They grew more and more to love the Lord, life and every member of the team. Especially the grade six. 
The kids and I thanked them all for the hugs, the games, dancing, worship, spicy card games, and for the life changing testimonies and skits. 
I have been indeed personally encouraged, motivated, grown to love and to appreciate more and more where God called me to be and be a part of.
