Team in North coming home tomorrow

Hi all! The EYO (Emmanuel Youth Outreach) team will be returning to New Hope tomorrow. Their time has been enjoyable and profitable for God's Kingdom! The response of the rescued kids has been encouraging. The New Hope kids have maintained good attitudes despite very hard physical labor, drenching rain and long hours! They said they wish they could stay longer! Some of these rescued children the team has been working with may be some of our first children for New Hope's site in the North in Kumi/Kobwin!



Today is Friday and Geoff left at 5 a.m. to start the LONG journey home on public transportation. He needed to leave today so that he can join me and 25 others to travel starting tomorrow a.m. at 3 to the "introduction" ceremony for Mulu Jospeph and Lucy who are marrying next Saturday. He has motorbikes, buses and taxis to travel on and I pray he is home safely in time to spend some moments with the children before we have to sleep in prep for our long day on Saturday. One of the students here for the childcare and family institute program this term will be with the children while we are gone Saturday. Please pray for the kids to "hang on" one more day before they get to be with Daddy again! They have been troopers this week and they have a little more to go before the rewards of "rough housing with Daddy" out in the yard.



Talk to you again soon . . .

Mary
