My Family

This is the Inyang family, who are my host family here in Nigeria. They have three daughters (now four with myself). These pictures were from my sister Janelle's 21 birthday in November!
My sister Janelle and my Mama and Papa.

My sister Samantha is on the far left. Also other friends who came to the birthday party. The other sister, Comfort, is away at the university now so she was not at the party.
I thank God for this wonderful family and how they have taken me into their lives!!

Kiddies Club



Every Saturday at Faith Alive, there is Kiddies club. These are all kids from around the area, ranging from about 3-15 years old. The first hour is a learning hour. We teach them bible stories, sing songs, sometimes act things out, arts and crafts. The main teacher is Joseph, who has been doing this for many years. He also has been doing some guitar lessons with the kids. We also want to do some health lessons with the kids. I am not the most creative person as many of you know so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. :)
After the hour of learning we all go to a park where the kids can play. The park is owned by Faith Alive and has swings, slides, teeter totters, a basketball court and other fun things to do. The kids have lots of energy and it is good to hear their joyful play!!
Please pray that kiddies club will be a learning time for the kids and a time where they can just be kids again.
Learning some songs.
