Today was another amazing day in Duplan! To our delight, even more children showed up than yesterday...approximately 250! Our day started with an hour of song and prayer, along with the reading and acting out of the story of the birth of Christ (who knew Leigh would have a baby while she was here?). Thanks to a few bed sheets from the Guest House and a baby doll we brought as a gift, we were able to put on a first class performance!The children were separated into four groups--by age--and rotated between Bible study, English, art, music theory, songs and games. A few highlights included a rousing three-legged race, beautifully drawn pictures of angels, and of course singing, singing, and more singing! Walking in the Light of God, Jesus Loves Me (complete with hand gestures), and Deep Deep Down, just to name a few.... Elijah, Lumere, Kissmir, and Marc-Anny once again rose to the occasion helping to lead in song, translating Scripture, and assisting us in every way.
The love of God was almost tangible today; and once again, the children of Duplan gave us far more than we could possibly ever give to them. We know that leaving them at the end of the week will be heartbreaking...but for now, what a blessing it is for us to be here and to see God through their eyes. We can't wait for tomorrow. God bless!
