An Easter to Remember

Back in December, our friend Pat Ouverson asked if there is a project her church ladies' group could do for our orphans. We brainstormed and thought of zip lock bags full of personal necessities would be a great idea. So her group did about 100 bags and several other groups did some bags and we had more than enough for our orphans. These ladies' groups sent them to us in Malawi and we got them in time to distribute them. April 1st was the day of our Easter party. The kids made so much noise when they saw the gift bags that they were sure to have been heard for miles around.


The special meal was goat and rice with vegetables. Goat intestine wrapped around a piece of another organ is the favorite meat. Fortunately, they fed us the regular meat from the legs or back. Oh, and they enjoyed the cupcakes that we love to share with them whenever we have special parties.

Mandy explained why Good Friday is good and how great is the salvation that God has made available to us. The kids enjoyed a special drama and sang songs about Easter.


It was a joy to share this very special celebration and it was definitely an Easter to remember. We are so thankful to the people who gave to make this so special for the children we serve.
