Our team has spent most of the week visiting people in thier homes and meeting people in the town center to build discipleship relationships. Each night the number of friends stopping by our camp grows. The people in Eburru are hungry for discipleship.

Each night at the camp we share in food and fellowship with other believers. Each evening is filled with laughter as we host bible studies, dance parties and watch movies. The Planet Earth documentaries are everyone's favorite. The people of Eburru laugh out loud and say either, "Is this thing in AMerica?" or "This must be false!" The times of fellowship are so sweet, but God is moving in so many ways here.

During our home visits early after ariving our team prayed for a man who had been paralized for four years. Yesterday our team went to visit him and found him WALKING around his yard. Still stiff from years in bed he said he knew that JESUS had healed him! We are praising God for revealing his glory to this family.

We are daily pouring into relationships that were made by the previous real life team here. A lady named Mary was saved through door to door evangelism last year. Mary owned a bar at the time and felt moved to sell it and open a cafe instead. The bar was more profitable, but she made a choice for the Lord and has never turned back. We spend time with her each day encouraging her. What a precious gift she is to the team. Sometimes she stops by our house just to cook for us. Mary is a servant of the Most High. We praise God for the fellowship we share with her.

The team is growing spiritually in so many ways. Living in awesome community changes you. We have seen the glory of the Lord displayed over and over, we can't walk away unchanged and for that we are thankful. Thank you Jesus for moving us toward your calling in each of our lives.
