Comings and Goings...
Today sees the last change to the second team, having had our dutch team mates arrive on saturday and Dr Jonny and Alec having flown off home today!!!
This is one of the smallest teams that we've had for a long time, and what 35 people did last year, 13 are doing this year!!!The Lord has stretched us beyond our own abilities through leading kids clubs with one leader and one translator at times, all in His plan and for His strength to be made manifest in our work. This past seven days has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows...from scottish dancing in International night last nite, to one of our team members getting tonsilitus, and from sweltering heat to an impromtu dance off involving a professional breakdancer and circle time in the kids clubs!
God has shown us what it is to follow His will and doing it with passion and energy has also bn a challenge, but as attitudes of tiredness or lack of entusiasm have arisen (speaking for myself here) God has opened my eyes to the greatness of His work and the multiple rewards He lavishes upon us when we least expect it, in mysterious forms too, from a hug, to a letter from broken children, telling us that we have entered their hearts and that they will never forget us until the day they die. Such expressions of love can only be the work of God penetrating the broken hearts of the people of Kosova.
Please pray for
