Saturday activities

It's a joy to share a little about yesterday's activities. Up and about early to make my way to Piata Obor, a huge open air market on the northern edge of the city. It's a sun hat and cream day to avoid a repeat of the heat exhaustion I suffered last Saturday. It's dusty and the whole area is heaving with people, so you need to hold onto your bag!! Today I am in search of more school bags plus a few other items for the Vinga School project. Praise God I found 6 bags bringing my total to 41 but need another 6 and have one more week to find them.

After a cold drink it's off with Peter Grover and M, a young girl we are supporting to Pastor Jackie's home out in the village of Sofronea to pick up a large supply of aid for transportation to the Food Bank back in the city. We then proceed to restock the food supply and pack parcels for 25 families in another poor area of the city. This ministry involves a lot of manual handling and you need strength from the Lord in this heat!! We now have around 130 packages ready for distribution this week. We also have a huge quantity of aid and other items to be sorted for various ministries and this will be time consuming.

The 3 of us then set off to San Nicolau Mic where I drop in some refreshments for Marius and his team, who run Music classes every Saturday. Later it's down to packing and labelling more bags for the Vinga School project whilst giving thanks for His provision. Lord, it's been a long day and I want to thank you for being in the centre of it. Missing my hubby tonight - Saturday is our special night where we stop and relax.
