Waiting

At Christmas I went back to Goa for a holiday and to visit the wonderful friends of BLC. 
Part of my time there I spent speaking with Beena and hearing her heart for why they love having the youth team come over and serve them.  We discussed the details of what we might do to serve them better and what their expectations of us were.
If you have ever heard Beena share her heart for anything, you will know that it is a life giving experience. 

I thought I would tell you the plans* we have for our time with them.

We have been asked to run after school clubs, to run some kids programs with bible study, and to unpack the gospel message for the kids so that it roots deeply in their hearts.

We will also spend time decorating the inside of the girls home with pictures and murals for the walls, Beena's words were 'to make it feel like home'.  

Spending time with Beena & Pastor Martin sharing their heart for the work they do, and learning what it means to walk alongside the poor and marginalised. 

I also thought you may like to see some recent pictures of the kids we will be hanging out with.

*plans in Goa are always subject to change, they are what you could call, fluid.
