The Latest News from the Pedersons

Joy Inside
September 2008 (PDF:318k)

Today, as our ninety-eight children waited for a small group of visitors from a local church to arrive bringing with them some donations, they sang song after song in praise to the Lord, in competition with the thunderous rain coming down outside. Their beautiful voices and African rhythm were more than enough to create a spirit of joy inside. When the visitors arrived, Julie explained to them that “rafiki” means friend in Swahili and just as this church is our rafiki, we wanted to share with them a song about how Jesus is our “rafiki” as well. The children and mothers stood and sang “Jesus! What a Friend of Sinners!” It has ministered to many of us in the Village recently and we hope it will help us share with you in this newsletter.
