End of the Year Update



It's been awhile since Compassion in Action has been able to post! Life and ministry keep us busy and sometimes we forget to stop and let everyone know what is going on! (Not to mention the internet connection here isn't the best or the cheapest either =) )

Here's what's new with Compassion in Action:

  • A short term team from Texas was able to be with us the first week in December and help us complete 2 CIA projects. With the help from our Texan friends, we were able to complete 2 kitchens, both for single moms in the village. One lady is not a believer and we are praying that she saw Christ's love demonstrated to her during that week. Elisa has been inviting her to church and we pray she will come! 
  • Compassion in Action invited a family from the village over for dinner. We cooked an African meal consisting of matoke, irish potatoes, beans, cabbage, beef, and even SODA! It was great and we all had an amazing time. It's a great way to love and we hope to be able to do it again in order to cultivate relationships with families from our village. 
  • There are ways that YOU can get involved. With the help of sponsors from the States, we have been able to raise money to help us complete more projects. Thanks Grandma Anderson for being our first donor! And thanks to our Texan friends who raised money for us to complete 2 kitchens. You can sponsor a Compassion in Action Project too! 

Thanks for your love and support! 

We pray as we enter 2013 our love will abound still more and more and we would continue to show the compassion of Jesus...
