Today was a day of celebration as Pastor Michael drove into the shipyard to show us the new van that he had bought with the remainder of the offering money. He was like a kid with a new toy and I lost count of the number of times that he told me "look, it starts first time". He gave us a tour of the engine space and seats are going to be put in the back to transport everyone around. The kids were additionally pleased as they gave thanks for not having to push the van anymore.
But it doesn't just stop at the orphanage, Pastor Michael and his wife, Michaela, do so much for those in their church and the surrounding area. His servant heart brings many people knocking on his door for help and his compassion for them never gets put aside, so this van not only helps the orphanage but the church and the community around them.
Thank you all for making this dream possible.
