The portable shelters that we purchased were put to good use since we had several rainy nights in Henig. We were in a grassy meadow and so there were cows, sheep, chickens and a horse nearby.
Each night the children bring their offering and we purchase some groceries to share with a poor family. This lady was reluctant to take the groceries, saying she did not want to take food from the children. Here Gabi and Teo are trying to convince her that the children really wanted to share with her!

While walking through the village of Henig I snapped a picture of this couple sitting outside their house, enjoying the cool of the evening and the daily paper. They were pleased! I plan to get a 5 by 7 made and take it to them.

Summer Bible School in Henig - 2007 The Priest refused to let the Bible School team use either the school or cultural center, so Gabi and Willlard decided to try some tent-like shelters, placing them out in a large grassy area. They worked great. One little problem, the cows came home - right between our classes! Of course some of us "stepped in it!" We had a totoal of 25 students! Gabi led the singing and Pastor Daniel will have a devotional every night. An 81 yr. old villager was curious and stopped by to chat and to see what was going on.

The other Bible School this week is held in Bucerea. There they had a total of 28 students. We feel like we are off to a good start, and for this we Thank the Lord!
