Return Ministries

Paster Samuel of return ministries is am amazing man of Christ. He has such great vision for his people. Right now he runs a small church and has an orphanage with 16 children. He also has 150 kids from the community who he feeds meals and does bible study with once a week, twice if there are funds. Paster Samuel says even though the 150 kids have families that does not mean they have a father figure or that their families are around. He tries to reverse the cycle of neglect by showing these kids God's plan for a family.

Today we went with paster Samuel and his staff to deliver food bags to some if the families from his church. When we arrived at his church he stood at the front with the bags of food and said "this food will not solve their problems, but we can help them feed their children as we help them to develop."

We carried heavy bags of flower and beans for 3 hours to different homes. I have now conquered caring the bag on my head. I was feeling very in touch with my Africa side walking over the open sewers with the bag in my head (no hands!) It was so eye opening to visit the home and pray over the people receiving the food. God has been so close to us all on this trip. Only minutes after retuning to pastor Samuels home did it start down poring. Today was an experience I will not forget. I'm sorry I have no pictures because we were at people's home we didn't feel comfortable taking them.
