Proud of Cabbage

This past week I saw one of the most beautiful sites. A young man coming up our path carrying 4 cabbages and you wouldn't believe the smile on this boys face. Misaaki is a young man about 17 years of age who has a fifth grade education and most likely will not get any farther. One of the things I have been lobying for is young people to not be so education driven, but finding peace and contentment in the gifts and opportunities God is offering them. In a country where literally 95% of the population has no regular job, educated or un-educated the job market is tough. Yet the possibility for someone to develop their skills as a farmer or vocational worker can open the door for regular work and of course money. Misaaki is an example of how "The glory of God is man fully alive". He is confessing his desire to be a great farmer, standing before the church testifying of how good God is and working hard to see his desires come to pass. Needless to say we have bought two of his cabbages and are willing to pay top dollar to see this young man fulfilled. And actually his cabbages are some of the best we have seen in the area. Please continue to pray that the young people of Kasana will find peace in who God has made them and seek His plan for their lives.
