I heard from Keith and Lauren today at 4:00 which is 10:00 pm their time. They had their first day of construction on the church today and Keith said that we would all be proud of Lauren - she worked extremely hard with all men and boys! That's my La!
Lauren said she also had an opportunity to meet some kids and interact with them, which was the part she was most excited about prior to the trip. Can't wait to hear how God works in her relationships with the African children.
The congregation now meets in a rented space, so construction of this church will enable them to have a church of their own. Construction there is, of course, much more physically demanding than construction here. The Africans insist on doing things "the hard way" - no equipment to make the job easier....just lots of physical labor!
They worshiped yesterday with the congregation and Lauren got to experience worship "African style!" Africans aren't bashful in praising the Lord! Keith, Lauren and the others also went to the market and were able to do some shopping for African treasures!
I'll keeping posting as often as I hear from them...thanks to all friends and family for your prayers.
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."
