Ada's Chicken and a Mountain Vilage

Monday:
We stopped by to see the chickens in the chicken farm we built in January. Lot's of noise and smell...
and lot's of eggs!  At Ada's request (member of the January group) Pastor Ronel chose a chicken to be named ADA! - Very cool...










 Then we drove an hour up into the mountains to Blanquette a community of about 800 in a region of about 4,000.  IT IS GORGEOUS! And it is isolated and it is poor and there is great hunger (soft bellies and blond hair - sure symptoms of malnutrition) and they have a wonderful caring Pastor, Pastor Evans, who works as a lawyer in Carrefour to make his money and then drives several hours up into the mountains to care for his people... amazing...



 I hope God will lead us to ways to help the people there become more self sustaining.  I hope people in the US will want to help in concrete ways as we listen to their discernment of what might blossom in their lives and how we can help to nurture it.
We planned to see about 100 people and we saw about 200 - we finally got home for supper at about 9PM.  Touching lives and offering small bits of healing...
Exhausting - energizing - another step in the way of feeling in just the right place at just the right time...
