We just returned from a wonderful two-day visit to Goshen Farm. During our visit our team was able to secure playground equipment, paint a home which will hopefully one day be filled with children, spend time with the children (two homes filled now), and lead a church service for the children and aunties. It was very rewarding to be able to hear the children laughing and squealing with delight as they used the swings, slide, merry-go-round, and seesaw for the first time. David did wonderful job preaching while Farayi interpreted. We praised God in English and Shona and Katie led a children's skit to teach a lesson about David and Goliath. Ken graciously stepped up as Goliath and precious Raymond (from Goshen) was our David. Becky summed up the skit by teaching the children about the importance of trusting God and standing up for Him. We were delighted to pieces to witness little Raymond preach in Shona with all-out "amens!" and "hallelujahs!" and watch the children sing and dance along to the African drum. WOW! How wonderful to spend these two days in such a precious environment with children who are receiving such tender care from their hard working aunties. The smiles and bright eyes of the Goshen children will stay with us....
