We ran out.

We went to Sabe Village again this morning to help feed the kids.  When they see Honda and Libby’s familiar vehicle pull up they come rushing towards the vehicle with their cup. We prayed that Jesus would multiply the food, as there seemed to be an almost endless line up of children. We prayed as we handed out, seeing the supply decrease steadily; the last bit of food was served before we reached the end of the line. We helplessly ran out. This time it was my turn to cry as I watched the moms’ anxious faces when they saw there was nothing left for their little ones. I couldn’t help but to put myself in their shoes; if I couldn’t provide Colton with food…
I saw one mom sitting with a tiny one that wouldn’t stop crying. I went over and laid my hands on the baby and prayed the peace and comfort of Jesus into her. Almost immediately she completely relaxed and became totally quiet. Tears were rolling down my face as I prayed. The mom seemed touched as well.
The water has receded in the village, but it’s still very wet and muddy. The collapsed huts need to be built up from the ground, and the ones where only the mud was washed away and the stick structure remains are getting ‘remudded’.
Last week there was a woman with a tiny baby that came by, and Libby said she couldn’t refuse her. She’s 17, epileptic, has a 3 month old baby girl, has no family to live with - she was in dire straits. During the week she had a seizure and had fallen on top of her baby; thankfully the baby seems fine. Some women had told Libby that this young mom had told them that she was going to take the baby and walk both of them into the lake. Well, Honda and Libby now have both mom and baby living at their house. The mom is happier, she knows where her next meal is coming from, and the baby is gorgeous and smiles easily.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those of you who responded to my previous email, saying you want to help financially. Pastor Andrew phoned last night and said that Calvary Chapel is actually taking Sabe Village on as a ‘project’; so for anyone wanting to make a donation,  on the memo line write ‘Sabe Village’, and send it to:
 Calvary Chapel
30 McKenzie Ave.
Steinbach Manitoba
Canada
R5G-2E5
Calvary Chapel will issue you a tax receipt.
… it’s rained a fair bit the last 2 days, we need it, but Sabe doesn’t. Please pray that the government will take responsibility and re-locate this village to higher ground. As is, they know that there is some food coming in, and so they rest on their laurels, not doing anything to improve the lives of these citizens.
Please continue to pray for Ramona and family.
