Gift distribution at Fantanele


This is a small Children's Home housing just 4 children and their Mama.  It is funded by a Dutch Foundation whose founders we know well.  The children were really excited to see us - its been a whole year since our last visit.

 

In the same village live Hans and Mary (Dutch missionaries) and their 6 children whom we have known for several years.    The family live a simple life and serve as volunteers with a British Christian Charity called Networks in a town about 20 miles away.  Mary volunteers in a house for pregnant and single mothers - she provides practical and spiritual support as well as teaching them life skills.  Hans is involved in practical work around the various ministries/projects which includes Apple Way.    We felt it on our hearts that we should give their children shoebox gifts and so we spent around 2 hours at their home just sitting around their wood burner, chatting and catching up on what God has been in our lives in the past 12 months.
