This week we have a team of 15 from Christ Community, Omaha, NE, ministering with us here at New Day. Because of the size of this team, we are using ACTS to help us. They transport the team to and from the airport, cook for the team, and take care of all the logistics. What a blessing.

The team arrived in this big blue and white overland truck which also becomes the kitchen when the sides are opened up.

This team is doing a BIG variety of ministries here and in the community. Some are helping with construction projects.

Some are working in the school with the children, doing afternoon children’s activities, a mini VBS, and just hanging out with the children.

Some are performing the REDEEMER drama in several schools and villages around New Day.

Some are giving sewing lessons to several of our staff so they can mend the children's clothes and makes school uniforms. They are also making discipline charts for the children, hemming curtains, mending clothes for the staff, and more.



Dee Kohler shows Michelle how to use the sewing machine. Joyce, mother of the Joy House has picked up sewing very quickly.



Others are doing a variety of health ministries to for our staff and community.

And still others are reaching out to the widows of our area.

We are so thankful for the work that this team is doing. They are helping us to minister to the community as well as to the children and staff.

The team was here for Kalenga's birthday party, which I think they thoroughly enjoyed. Instead of the usual water pouring, we did spoonfuls of love as we told Kalenga why we loved him and poured water on him one spoonful at a time. It was too cold outside for buckets of love.

One of the special things about this team is that each night they sit around the campfire and share what God is doing in their lives. It is pretty awesome. Yes, a campfire. It is cold here right now during the mornings and at night so a campfire is a wonderful thing!
