Meet one of the special kids we are ministering to here. She comes from a large family but does not feel safe at home due to several issues. She sleeps most nights in the park....with a pack of other kids. She loves to dance and has such a sweet spirit. The ministry has just started breakfast and street church for her and other street vendors and scrappers on Tuesday mornings. Scrappers collect trash and recyclables to sell in the streets for next to nothing. I was there this morning at street church to pray and help feed. We are excited about what God is doing in her life.....and in the life of her family.

We presented the gospel to about 100 children and 100 parents last week.....distributing shoe boxes of gifts from Samaritans Purse in a local village area. We have teamed up with gov. social workers to be more effective and meet the needs. We have several more presentations that will reach about 1000 kids and almost as many parents when all the boxes are given away.

In other news, we are enjoying the interesting Asian cuisine here. There are a couple of Koreans at the school who have invited us to eat with them. We have had kim chi, the famous Korean dish made of Chinese cabbage and something really really spicy. Don't ask me. :) We just took a deep breath and smiled.

Here's something that has been speaking to me lately: Gal. 2:20 " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." Miracles happen through Christ in us.

Have a great week.

oh wow- yum. Korean food, yum yum. Have you had 'bo-go-gi' yet? I'm sure my spelling of that is all off- but at least you'll be able to figure out how to say it...
