I am now ‘Mommy Liz’ (that’s what
they call me!) to 12 girls in my house who are a brilliant bunch and even love
to drink tea so I know that God had it planned for them to live with me! As I’m on staff of the school they think that
I know more then I really do…like yesterday one of them asked me for the Hebrew
and Greek word for something yesterday and seemed quite disappointed when I
said I had no clue!
During the second week of school
I spent most of it helping to organise the 320 students into their ‘practical
missions’. Each student got to choose 4
areas where they would be happy to serve eg doing arts and crafts with some of
the children who live in the centre next to us, pray for the sick in hospital
or give out bread to school children..the list is pretty long!
The team then had to pray and sift through
the students requests and match up skills and requirements…it was an intense
job and involved some late nighters but we did it and now every student has the
opportunity to put their love into practical action at least once a week. We are often reminded by Heidi Baker, Iris
Ministries founder that ‘love looks like something’. The Bible also makes it pretty clear too!
Last week I got to start to
oversee the application process for the next school which will start in October. As staff of the current school we get to
review the applications for the next school – this is a real privilege and so you
want to make sure that you get it right.
Having done assessments as a social worker and interviews in various
roles, I have found these reviews both fascinating and right up my street!
This weekend I get to go and stay
with a local ‘Mama’ in her house and immerse myself in the local culture with
my ‘peach’ activity group…..I am looking forward to being humbled and
challenged all over again! Thanks for
