Celebration

This picture was taken from the balcony of one of the ladies' room. Preparation for the big celebratory meal in which the role is reversed--we serve (over 200 people) rather than being served(even though the meal was prepared by staff). This practice has been occurring now for about 6 years. I have participated in 3 of those servings and it is truly a blessed feeling to give to those who have enjoyed giving to us this visit. The people at GSM are a true representation of what God's servant hood is all about. 

A pot of rice.  And Jesus took 5 loaves and 2 fishes to feed five thousand. 

We purchased gifts for the children and staff but Bro Henry presented all of us with a stole for our work this week at GSM. You just cannot fathom how rich one feels from serving at GSM. We all thought we would be the givers after working hard to raise money for free medicines, gifts, and food and receiving monetary donations but WE are the real recipients!!
