Josh and I visited his cousin Charmayne's daycare which is located in the basement of a church in Murray River. During Josh's first visit to the daycare last winter, he told the kids about Mozambique:the living conditions there, animals, mission work being done, etc. He showed them tons of pictures and each child got to pick out a necklace made by a village boy in Mozambique!
During our last visit in May, we got out the big map and talked about our plans for Cambodia. We also introduced the kids to the '10-40 window' is 97% unreached for the gospel and covers two-thirds of the world's population.
3.2 billion people who still don't know Jesus!
This time at the daycare we told them about the poverty of the families in Cambodia, comparing it with the luxury of our lifestyle in North America. When we asked the kids what they remembered from our last visit in May, 5-year old Sophie yelled out "The 10-40 window!" We couldn't believe that she remembered that! I love how this group of little kids knows about the most unchurched, needy area of the world! We are planting seeds!
I modeled an Asian wedding jacket for the kids, as we described a culture that is completely different from ours.
We ended our visit with tea and a 'good luck!' cake for Josh and I.
Thank you, Charmayne and kids-we love you!
