110 children attended the annual Children's Day service at our bible college on June 1. Half of these children were brought in from surrounding villages. The children's church pastor and his leaders faithfully bring these boys and girls to church on the back of a pick-up every week. Our whole family participated in the service.

Jeff came as the puppets deputy Dugan and Rovercomer the faith dog, Michaela, Schuyler and Zachary helped bake and pass out cupcakes and Wendy shared her testimony and gave the message in the service, . It was a blast. Many boys and girls responded to the altar call and one little girl gave her heart to Jesus for the first time. PTL!

Zachary is starting to enjoy being an MK!
