THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM OUR TEAM MEMBERS BLOG...ABOUT OUR DEAR SENIOR HOME
JOHN WRITES:
....I always remember the words of my friend Dylia. She told me ."Start by doing
what you CAN do and before you know it you will be doing what others said could not be done." So with that boldness, we have blundered into many big , over our head, projects. When we step out, something amazing happens... Others see the light you bring... When people see things that are good, they want to be a part of it. We have seen that in many of the orphanages and the invalid home, but no where is it more
prevalent then the Seniors home...
Remember when we went into that home the first time . The director had nothing left but a striped down old building, no heat no running water,no furniture, and no food..........The task seemed overwhelming to us at the time, but we just started where we could... We bought them food... Over the next few weeks, others came along.....
LAMb team arrived, and together we began working to bring dignity to the home.. people from all over the world began to get involved as the light began to shine in and on this place..
Furniture was bought, the kitchen was stocked, the water was brought in, and the heating system put in one section at a time.....the blessings have continued to flow. The folks at Lepta Plus.. (a social fund operated by Sergey) brought some of their sponsors there, and the last of the heating was sponsored.. Just yesterday, another great blessing arrived. Lepta plus received a container from Norway, and in it was many things that are so valuable for the seniors home.. new floors, new winter boots, cleaning supplies and much more.....I just sit in amazement as I watch such a dark place become a beacon of light to the community around it...I have said it before, but I will say it again... Thank you for everyone that has had a part in this project... you have fanned into flame a beautiful thing.
Note: Soon the team will all be on the ground again...watch for some amazing moments of hope and dignity being returned to those suffering and waiting. Lynn and Ruby leave on March 5th, John, Julie, Bekah, Emma leave on March 7th and David and Jayne leave on March 12th.
