fun times with wynand
I love how our kids pray for Eldon & Wynand everyday. Eldon is in Afghanistan with the Army & Wynand went home to South Africa. Each morning as I take them to school, one of us prays & their names are always spoken.
On the map at church we have their pictures right by their countries. Before Eldon left he came & told the kids at church where he was going & how they planned to help the people there. They are teaching the Afganistan people about farming & putting up grain bins for storage. If you ask any of the kids at church, they'll give you all the details.
Wynand came for several weeks & helped in Children's Church. He played with them & sang the songs. They listened intently as he told them how he was going to go back home & tell other kids about Jesus. They also know he wasn't headed straight home, he was going to visit family in Qatar first & then go to Cape Town. They know all about it.
And they love it.
They love that Eldon & Wynand cared enough about them to spend time with them. They know that God is going to use them in other countries & that they need our prayers. I appreciate these two men being so willing to give their time to the kids. They won't forget it & they won't forget you.
Just a word of warning to these 2 men: my kids came up with a list of questions to ask you either by email or on facebook. Everything from "Do you like green beans?" to "Have you seen any giraffes?" And Cooper even provided you with information like "There was a snake at the county fair." Be prepared...
the kids show the stuff they made for wynand
