Supporting 2 little beauties - Ioana and Maria

All happy  to help the beautiful little girls.
Up and about early.  Spent the morning at San Nicolau Mic checking and topping more shoe box gifts.  Today we were 3 -  myself,  Christine and Adina  and it was a case of more hands make less work.  Praise God we finished by 1.30pm  so we could make our way to a school, where we joined 30 people who spent 4 hours making a wide variety of Christmas crafts. Adina together with 3 friends are coodinating support for the above  14 month old twins(seen here) who have severe medical problems and need essential operations which will cost around 70,000 pounds!!!. Unbelievable when the minimum wage here is equivalent to  130 pounds a month.

 Many more craft days are planned to help raise money for this  very worthy cause     Little Ioana is deaf and blind - whilst Maria has fluid on the brain and mobility problems.   We had such an afternoon of fellowship and you should have seen the creative cards we produced - we surprised ourselves.  Thank you Lord for equipping us -  the many craft items I brought over from Wales are proving very useful.

It was a joy to meet the parents and their precious little girls who are much loved.  Please join us in prayer that the necessary funds will be raised to help these beautiful gifts from God.   If you would like to make a donation then please contact us.


Pastor Jackie kindly invited me over for dinner in the evening.  It was a blessing to spend some value time with her and her 2 grandaughters, Elizabeth and Sarah.  It was great to catch up on old times - I value her friendship and spiritual support.
