On a boat heading out toward Grau, had to take a boat from Nauta.

Jerusalem School

Today I gave the first of our donations to the Administrator of the Jerusalem Adventist School.

He gave me such a warm greeting. We only sat down to chat for a few minutes, but in that short time I was inspired by how a little on our part can make a substantial impact on childrens lives. In John it talks about how we are the branches and God is the vine. As branches we bear fruit, either good fruit or bad fruit. As people look at us will they say, "hey I think that guy has some really yummy fruit - I wonder what kind of vine he's connected to?" I think you guys back home are producing some good fruit through your support of others - others that you have never met or talked to. Thanks guys!
