The new dining hall at the Offin Childrens' Centre is now fully funded!
30 tables and 60 benches have been sponsored and paid in full! The children will now have a place to sit and connect over each of the days' meals -- thanks to your support!
We are blown away by the response that we have received from our community (those both near and far) and we are so encouraged by the faithfulness and generosity of spirit and of resources that this displays. Time and time again, we've been told that there are people out there who want to help and are willing to give -- they just need a cause. We presented a cause that we believe in with all of our hearts just SIX DAYS ago, and people really stepped up.
My hands were trembling with excitement as I emailed Mary this afternoon to let her know that her prayers had been answered and this dream would become a reality even sooner than we had hoped.
Mary's almost immediate reply said this:
"PRAISE GOD! ALLELUIA! THANK YOU! WHAT SHOULD I EVEN SAY.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS ALL THOSE WHO DONATED. I AM LOST OF WORDS. THE MAN WHO IS WORKING ON THE TABLES HAS FINISHED WITH THE TABLES. HE WANTS TO GET SOME OF THE MONEY BEFORE FINISHING SO FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK NOW HE HAS NOT WORKED ON THE BENCHES. NOW HE STARTS TO WORK ON THE BENCHES! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO HAVE DONE THIS. I AM DUMBFOUNDED.
MARY"
We cannot stop smiling tonight and can only imagine the rejoicing that is going on in the little orphanage on the other side of the world.
Thank you!
