Thought I give another update on Africa….the team has been working hard!! Dw said that at the pastor’s conference day two was unbelievable. He said he had never before spoken with such a complete awareness that he was speaking the very words of God…….there was such a keen awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. And only because people {like you!} are praying!! Please, please,please don’t stop!! Emma has an amazingYippee Jesus kind of report to share, but I’ll let her do that!! Last night I talked to him for just about one minute. The team was at the first of three orphanages they are visiting. They were actually at the one pictured here….but while I am at it, I have to draw attention to the little green box the little one is holding next to Dw. Do you see it? That is a Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoe box. {Samaritan’s Purse was started by Franklin Graham – son of Billy Graham, yes, and that’s who our son Graham was named after, a great man of God who never, ever once had a scandal, but saw thousands upon thousands come to Christ! What a legacy!}

It is a “shoe box” brought by Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child to orphans around the world. This picture was taken in July 2008 {infact all the pictures in this post were taken in July 2008}. Several of the little boys and girls, when they saw Dw and Emma, ran to get their shoe boxes. They opened them and Dw and Emma saw their treasures – broken little toys – but none-the-less, their own treasures. Emma had taken them all Beanie Babies….and they were thrilled with them…Anyway, right at this moment Dw is speaking at a Crusade. These are powerful places for people to come to Christ, they are also powerful places for the enemy to stir up trouble. Last year during the crusade a witch doctor showed up. He was up to no good. Then a man drove a motorcycle into the crowd. But the enemy hates when people hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ. So as I type this the crusade is going on. Please be praying!! Update: I just talked to Dw, he said the crusade was such a move of God….the team prayed with many who came to Christ…will share more about that later….African Hearts….these boys all once lived on the streets fending for themselves…And lastly I had to show you some pictures of our sweet Elijah and Elizabeth from 2008 when Dw found them in Africa. Elizabeth singing a worship song days after meeting Daddy….Elijah, so sad looking….just needin’ a mommy and daddy
