Good VBS in Kinshasa

Hi everyone,

Jimmy called about 3:15PM EST to say they had had a wonderful day at the orphanage, sponsored by ROW, conducting Vacation Bible School for about 3 hours!!! Jim Carse stated that if they did nothing else, this day would have been worth the trip!! They lost a couple pieces of luggage/trunks which did have some supplies! The paint they needed for the hand print banners from Redeemer Presbyterian (our kids here put their handprints on a banner and the kids in Congo are going to do the same connecting Snellville, GA and Congo) was in the trunk, but they were able to purchase some water colored paint in Kinshasa!! Jimmy had taken a small photo printer and the kids were very excited to have their picture taken and to actually get a copy of it the same day!! Luckily, the printer runs on a battery as well as electricity, because the power has been out since they arrived and had just come back on about 10 minutes before I talked to Jimmy!

On the way to the orphanage, they dropped Dr. John Kennedy off at the hospital in Kinshasa where he will do surgery when they come back through Kinshasa next week. They leave for Kananga in the morning (they are 5 hours ahead of us in Kinshasa and 6 hours ahead in Kananga) and will be there for about a week!

Please continue to pray for safe travel as they fly inland tomorrow!

God Bless,
Jan
