Many answers to prayer today! We can tell our prayer warriors are intervening on our behalf.
  • Smooth flight
  • No questions or inspections in customs - even with 4 full crates of medicine
  • No tax imposed for the value of medicine we brought in country
  • Some of the ladies from the dump came all the way to meet us at the airport when we arrived
  • We are all well rested and ready for the work ahead
Best surprise of the day - the women from home at Lee Arrendale Prison, who participate in the Celebrate Recovery program, have each chosen one of us to pray for. Tonight we were each given two hand written letters for each of the 9 days of our trip! We were told that some of these women, in order to commit to pray for us, are waking up at 4 am just to have the time to fit it in. Now if that won't get you ready for your daily quiet time with the Lord, I don't know what will.

Tonight as we assembled the bags for the 50 women who will attend our Bible study, it was amazing to see how many hands had touched those materials. Not just our team and our supporters, but the people who "sponsored" each lady to pay for her materials for the week, donations of a Bible for each one, donations of cosmetics for each one, and beautiful hand-knitted scarves that were prayed over while being made. God, it's obvious that You have planned this from the beginning of time. Thank you for allowing us to be here to witness the beauty of your orchestration, the beauty that is created when all your people come together to do their part for a common purpose.

"From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. "  Eph. 4:16

Humbled and joyful,
Dawn
