Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: the fruit of the womb is a reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of the youth.Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them

Mwangaza Children’s Choir
We had the privledge of having the African Childrens Choir come and preform at our church last week. What a treat it was. Those kids were such a blessing to everyone there. They told us all about their ministry. This only whetted our appetite for Africa all the more! We are so excited to go knowing that there is a sweet 2 year old little girl there who we can't wait to meet!
“The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.” ~Doug Phillips
