Serveolution

A week ago Friday, our bible clubs did a serve day for their communities. I had the honor to join the Fonteyn CarePoint on their outreach to a 90 year old gogo (grandmother). She was not sure how to handle 55 children coming to serve her and allowed us only to help outside of her home.
The children brought firewood as they walked the 20 minutes through the paths from the CarePoint to her homestead. They took turns with the slashers to cut the tall grass and carry the cut grass and trash away. My heart swelled as the children sang songs in Siswati of God's love. Before we left we all bowed our heads as teacher Portia led the kids in praying for the gogo. It was hot and sweaty day and the walk back was all uphill but I wouldn't trade the opportunity for anything. I have the best job in the world!!! Thank you for letting me be God's hands and feet here.
