“I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.”

Jeremiah 10:23-24


But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves are green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Goodbye Edith!!

Now, Edith just left last week, so I'm not so behind with her post!! She is also from Germany, seems we've been overrun with Germans lately!! =:)
She served in our Kangaroo Moms program at the Karl Bremer Hospital and then she and the girls started a new program at New Life Center, where women go to hide a pregnancy, then give up the baby for adoption. Apparently one of the "women" is only 11 years old!! Their aim here is to fellowship with and encourage these women.

Edith also served in the farm project, where the kids live in a small development where their parents work at the big, main farm. They live in pretty poor, unhygienic conditions. They are trying to find creative ways to teach them basic hygiene without offending them or their parents!

Edith was so sweet and seemed to always have a smile on her face! She was truly a joy to be around. We will greatly miss her! She is hoping to study to be a midwife back in Germany. God bless you in all you do, Edith!!
