They've pastored a church in Kisumu for 6 years and had never been to Joyland.
"We know God wants us to go visit the children. Will you take us?"
George and Mary ask one Sunday evening when we saw them at the market.
"Sure! We'd be happy to!" was our reply.
The church that hosted our DIG training
(you can read about the widowed moms
stories on tiltingbalance.blogspot.com.)
and where Lisa's been teaching on missions wanted to become
INVOLVED!
They wanted to help those who feel helpless.
They wanted to serve the poor.
They wanted to share their blessings.
We were sooooo excited to introduce this pastoral couple to our friends at Joyland.
Below are photos of our time together...
Taleah, Tavin, and our neighbor Sally introduce Mama Mary to the children who are more then curious to
meet new people.
Pastor George gets right to work helping Mark blow up balloons for object lessons on Jesus filling them with His Spirit and shaping them into His design.
Mama Mary leads the children in praise and worship.
The kids nibble on their treats and hold their balloons while sharing testimonies of God's goodness.
The smiles below tell the rest of the story...
Lisa's good friend Denis refused to look at the
camera, although he's the one who requested the
photo be taken of them together. Silly boy!

Pastor George and Mary plan to bring a team from their church once a month to minister at Joyland. They also volunteered to purchase new drinking cups for the children since there are not enough for all of them.
"Jambo to everyone!"
from the GREAT kids at Joyland!
Asante sana
for all your prayers, encouragement and support.
