I had a wonderful time out last evening with the kids and adult helpers from the orphanage. As has become a yearly tradition, I take them all out for a nice dinner. The kids seldom get to enjoy something like this, so it is a very special occasion for them.
But first, I visited the church that meets at the orphanage in the morning, preaching a message to them and the people of the surrounding community who attend each week. The worship band is made up of the kids that live there and they really are quite good! Everything went well and I returned to my hotel until it was time to be picked up for the dinner.
This year, we went to different pizza place, than the previous years, very nice and kind of outdoors under a roof, an open-air structure. The lined up several tables in order to accommodate the 33 of us. It was a time filled with LOTS of delicious food, cultural dancing performances provided by the restaurant, and lots of laughter. The kids and other restaurant patrons were invited up on the stage to dance with the performers. It was so much fun to watch them all having an unforgettable experience. I am so grateful for this opportunity each year.
So, now I will head up to the site of the 3-day conference of pastors. I am looking forward to it and ask for your continued prayers for good health and safety.
Blessings to you all!

What a fun time for the kids! Great memories being made for them by your visits. Prayers continue for you as you minister at the conference.
