Willow Youth in Africa

By Alece on April 7, 2008

Willow
We had a team of young people from Willow Creek Community Church (Barrington, IL) spend a few days with us over Easter weekend. They attended a special Easter service in Intabazwe, did some maintenance work at Limakatso Disabled Center, and visited people at the hospital Easter morning.

They painted, replaced windows, and planted a garden at the Disabled Center. The children are on school break right now so they will be very surprised and excited to see the work the team accomplished when they return. Everyone at the hospital was overjoyed to have visitors on Easter Sunday. The team was able to share the hope and joy of the risen Savior.

Although their time with us was very short, their impact will remain forever.

    Alece,

    While this summer isn’t a possibility for me - I already have too many commitments - I’d love to come back next summer.
    Hopefully I’ll be seeing you in the future!
