The container was delayed but has now finally arrived!!
The kids at H2H unloaded it & stored the contents in an empty container...which was especially hard when they started seeing their names on presents!!!

The team from Abbotsford Vineyard Church arrived... to empower the church members to be the hands & feet of Jesus Christ to their neighbourhood. In last years flour/rice give-away the Pastors worked together to serve their churches. This year it was the church members turn to be the salt & light. Over 40 churches partipated. Each family within the churches received a bag of rice with the encouragment to bless others...the encouragement even went as far as asking them to consider blessing their "enemies".
Piles of flour were made & each Pastor came to pick up their churches portion.
I know you shouldn't have favorites but here was my favorite Pastor... hard to resist a man in shades :)
The team piggy back on the flour idea and gave each child who lives at H2H Valley a bag of toys and the kids went out into the community to blessed the neighborhood kids that have even less than them. It was a big hectic at times but an amazing experience for our kids.
Here's Eliyou, our youngest boy, shyly giving away a toy:
After the team left Pastor Luc decided to take it a step farther and went out into the community with some of our older boys and gave a bag of flour to each house surrounding the H2H compound...each house which isn't connected to a church as they were involved in the flour give-away with the pastors. What a great experience for our older boys!
Here are some of our neighbors that received the flour:
Starting later today we have 3 back-to-back teams & I'm flying home with the third team on July 15th so it's going to be a busy month!! Please pray for my health & some extra energy :)
