The team split up to visit children sponsored by members of Lake Grove. We will be returning with lots of pictures and stories to share with the sponsors. After these visits, the group went to visit David and Alita. David is ill with AIDS and others in his family are HIV postive. This is the third year the team has visited David, who is doing well and repeat visitors thought looked healthier. David goes to the HIV clinic to receive ART and a supply of medicine. Between visits to the clinic, he has home visits from a caregiver.
Another group headed to Siabaswi, our former partner village. Here Pastor Graig held a communion service with the local pastors and many church elders. After the service, Pastor Graig met with the pastors to hear about their needs and churches. Many pastors have received additional training and are grateful for the Tonga Bibles and NIV Study Bible that Lake Grove has provided. The churches are growing in numbers and in faith.
Next we met with the village committee who presented a report that was produced on a computer owned by the village! They are doing well and asked for nothing, a good indication of their success and sustainability. We returned to the ADP office for a time of debriefing and fellowship with the staff. Off to Livingston in the morning.
