We met down at the Passion Center and split up into two groups for the morning session. The village bible study I heard went well as two different cultures came together to worship one God. The Community Health Network session was enlightening. The Malawian people of the CHN came together to update Dr. Tracy about how the community's health was over the past year. It was mostly good news and most are in good health, but there were a few people who had some serious health setbacks. They started the session with a couple songs of praise and it was amazing to hear their beautiful voices sing out to our heavenly Father. After the update, we gave them supplies and shared conversations over bottles of Fanta. It was awesome to communicate with them and learn some Chichewa.
Once the session was finished, the few of us who went with Tracy to the meeting played a small game of pick up basketball with some of the Passion kids until we left for the afternoon session. It was so cool to connect with them through sport and have a good time. We spent our afternoon at a Child Headed Household and put on a mini VBS for their community. We shared the story of salvation by making bracelets with them, each color of the beads representing part of the story. We provided paper and crayons to color, painted fingernails, and played with balloon animals. Uncle Titi shared the story of one household of CHH kids (James, Moses, and Patrick) and how he provides food for them so they can go to school. It was very touching and heartbreaking to see their living conditions, but inspiring and exciting to see their joy from the mini VBS.
