WOW!! Words do not describe the past few weeks. It was an amazing end of the year and beginning of 2016!! From, a Christmas miracle to Dream Camp to Graduation, God has been glorified. Our Christmas miracle was given to us on Christmas Eve. 5 children were found abandoned in one of the communities. The oldest girl had been taking care of her younger siblings for several months until they were evicted; a good Samaritan ound them and called our offices. They moved into the Tree of Life Children's Village on December 24!! What a Christmas gift to us and them!!
We also graduated 10 children from Tree of Life Legacy Academy. The majority are the first in their family to ever make it past the 7th grade! There was an even bigger graduation a week later for the kids attending Legacy Academies in 17 communities; 96 students received their Grade 12 certificates, most of whom were also the first to make it to High School let alone graduate. What an awesome God we serve! These graduations were a small glimpse of lives being transformed in Zambia. It allows us to hold God's promises close to heart, that He is indeed above all knowledge and wisdom.
So many more exciting things are happening this month. We also had the privilege to open three more houses. These homes were opened for our high school kids that are living at the TOL. One of the sponsors was a university young man. He had a burden from God to raise funds to open a boys home and God did just that.
Happy New Year everyone!!
