Living Hope "Open Day"

Last Saturday

Living Hope 

opened their doors to the community.

They showed their services off to the public.

They ministered to all who came by.

Joey,

Mrs Gilda,

Wayne,

Vuci, 

and 

Itai

did their 

Living Way

presentations

along with the sewing class 

and driver training.

It was such a blessing to see

all their hard work being showcased.

So proud...

Mrs Gilda and one of the baker Wayne

Bristol and her buddy Itai

bakery biscuits and breads

God continues to blow us away with His blessings on the happenings of Living Way. 

rugby this

rugby has started around here. 

and let's just say we went from being totally clueless...

to being a rock star! 

this guy loves him some rugby. 

and his american parents are pretty darn proud.

one of the cool parts of growing up in a culture different from your own...
learning new sports, games, and rules.
