Food Distribution in Lodwar

Hello everyone,

Today started out with Thomas bringing food to the guest house for us to pack into bags to be distributed to a Turkana village. After the team effort of packing the bags we drove off to the village. On the way there we saw a giant ant hill and a herd of camels that belonged to the people of the village. Once we made it to the village the people greeted us, and we played a game with the children. We entered the hut where they meet to worship and they sang some worship songs and danced. Then Josh shared a few words with those who had gathered, while Thomas translated. After that we started distributing food to the village. We also brought candy for the children which was an interesting task of guessing who had had candy and who did not. After the food was given out we endeavored to take a picture with a large group of people from the village which was interesting to try to get everyone in the picture, but it worked out in the end. When it was time to leave the village, we said our farewell and were off to the jeep again in a bumpy ride back to the guest house for lunch. On our way back we stopped and met Thomas’s wife and children.

Now we are back at the guest house resting. Later this afternoon, when the children from House of Hope get back from school, we’ll be going to spend more time with them and hand out the Frisbees that we brought over with us. God has truly been watching out for us on this trip. He has healed those who were sick and protected others from getting sick. God has been our guide throughout this trip through everything, and I believe we have become closer to Him through it.

Prayer requests:

- Josh is still feeling under the weather but was able to join us today for the food distribution. Pray for a full recovery.

- Tomorrow we will be taking food to another village. Pray that the people there would be blessed!
