We had our first art classes last night and they went well.
Wednesday evening, July 2
The classes were relatively well-attended but not overwhelming—Lalla had 10 children for the children’s program! The kids made luminarios and when the classes ended, everyone walked out of the building down the stairs lined with the children’s work that day—it was great!
Chip and Branko bought more supplies for the camp—ceramic tiles for the new kitchen, a tile cutter, cement and grout. That project is still waiting to get started, so pray about the timing of all that. The artists are doing well but we need prayer for the provision of a translator on the last two nights (Friday and Saturday). This has been a “growth opportunity” for many of the local church people here as they try to catch the vision for what these classes and these contacts with people in Bor could mean.
As always, we are enjoying our meals together and having a lot of laughs and jokes with the farmer and his family. Leah is the farmer’s favorite target this trip and “Visheh Vodeh” is her battle cry with him (it means “more water”—the constant cry of the watercolor teacher).
Love to all from Zajecar!
