January 22, 2009...Bethany writing from Malawi reported the missions team did an amazing job with the kiddos at Lake Malawi.  The kids made salvation bracelets and learned about Jesus.  They played kickball, swam until their hearts were content, and had time to  talk with the members of the team as they walked up and down the beach.  They made braided bracelets, played cards, volleyball and had a great time.  They got their gifts of clothes, goodie bags from the Lee Elementary School kids, and the bible bags that the women and children of Columbia made for them.  The added blessing of God is that each child received in their bag a new NIV New Testament bible in Chichewa.  The team spent every waking minute they could with the children and everyone was so tired by the end of each day that they just about fell asleep in their plate of food.  A wonderful tired.
