Dear family and friends;

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement! This morning we returned to the Renault Sunday School program and it went very well. The entire road was lined with people on both sides welcoming us back into the area. The children surrounded our vehicles and sang as we drove into the yard.

We thank the Lord for His care and direction and pray that He will continue to lead as we are definitely out of space in the existing location.

Many people came and  visited us at the Camp and encouraged us, including this group of 19 teen aged boys who came in the pouring rain and were completely soaked. Deb squeezed all 19 into the Toyota and gave them a ride part way home.

Katie was very excited to be back in Sunday school and it was great to have the Yordy’s with us again also.

This lady walked all the way out to see us at the camp last week and explained how she has 7 children. 6 of them attend Renault Sunday school  (the older boys aren’t
in the picture). She told us that when they get their six small bags of rice each Sunday, they save it and use only 1 bag per day. Even though, they only each get
a few spoonfuls of food, they at least eat something each day.

This lady brought her baby into our yard this week with a big smile and thank you!    She was brought to us, when we had the large Missouri medical team here in late Feb. She and her baby both were on death’s doorstep. They both hadn’t been eating and were so weak they couldn’t move. The medical team cared for them, and then we took the lady to her little hut and showed her neighbors how to feed her and her baby. It was really encouraging this week to see both of them doing so well, and thankful that kind people from Missouri had cared enough for them to save their lives.

We are doing well and were so thankful to find the camp well cared for and in great shape when we returned from Canada.

Thanks again especially for your prayers about the Sunday school.

bye for now,

Love Rod, Debbie and katie
