This morning after breakfast we met the head of Synergia. This is the local Christian Reformed organization that EduDeo partners with to do the work of supporting schools here. Manuel told us the story of how the ministry began and what it is doing. We see through this ministry The Kingdom of God advancing as they support schools, the teachers and leaders, pastors, and the children. All with a Christ centred focus.
Today we worked again at the school but it rained so much that we had to leave early. Again the young people worked very hard with no complaints. Even though soaked by the rain they kept working. It’s cool seeing the classroom walls getting taller and taller.
We are all so thankful that God has brought us here. Pray for each team member that this experience will change us so that more and more we are reflecting God’s love and purpose into our world.
