The new uniforms were donated by Lee University Women's Basketball team to Casey Dean. The guys were thrilled. They didn't want to come off the court when it was time to leave.
March 1, 2014 we had a team of 21 arrive...yes I said a team of 21. Normally we limit our teams to 12 however it is hard to say NO to your only son and when 6 of the team members coming are family. Our son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, her husband and two of our great granddaughters were part of this team. The team was here to dedicate a new church in memory of Matt Davidson who died after an accident about 18 months ago. This team raised all the funds to construct the church.in less than two months..what a faith builder for all of them. Matt's mother, father, brother, son and sister-in-law were also a part of this group.
On Sunday, March 2 Luke Davidson, Matt's brother, preached at TiTanyen. After lunch the team and all our staff went to the church site for a dedication. WOW! were they surprised. They were expecting to see the foundation in and maybe the walls up but the church was complete. (in about 30 working days). GOD IS GOOD! The dedication was such an emotional time for everyone. Monday the team visited our Gran Moun feeding program, the Burn Clinic and El Bethel orphanage. On Tuesday they painted the outside of the Volunteer Quarters. Wednesday it was time for them to fly back to the US. Short trip but so much accomplished. Claire, our 9 year old great granddaughter, said "I don't want to go home. Grammie can home school me here." Thank you Lord for the opportunity to show others a country and people that we love.
