…and ANSWERS prayers! On November 13, 2013, I asked the women who volunteer at our Embonisweni (Mbon) feeding, what their dreams were for the feeding. They said, “we want to feed more than once a week and we want the children to receive help with their homework.” The beautiful thing about this…they were dreaming for their community…not for themselves.
After this party, Brett and I headed back to North Carolina for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I didn’t get an opportunity to share with our community development team their dreams.
Imagine my joy when, upon returning, we were at our first community development meeting and Carla said, “I want us to go to 2 feedings a week at Mbon and begin to tutor and disciple the children.” My eyes filled with tears as I shared about the ladies’ dreams. God confirmed!
Today was the kickoff! We were expecting 80-100 children and 196 showed up. There were some rough spots and some things that will need to be tweaked, but overall it was great!
We dreamed big dreams. We prayed big prayers and God answered in a big way!
I’m feeling blessed!
