There are a lot of exciting things happening lately in our little village of Kimata. About a year and a half ago, when Mark first visted AMCC, a boarhole was drilled for the community to have water. However, the boarhole can not function without electricity and has been sitting dormant... until now!

Telephone poles have gone up already and the workers are preparing to hang to cable. So in the next couple of weeks Kimata should have electricity not only for the boarhole but also for the schools that the AMCC kids are going to! Praise God that they will be able to see their books in class now without straining! Just the other day the housing for the generator was finished and the water reserve tank was lifted into place.
ALTHOUGH, before they can hang the cable, some of the trees in the area must be cut down. The open field in the village square is government owled land. So John, being quite the thinker that he is, asked the local government to give us the only tree in the courtyard that is going to be felled. (that's a real word by the way) So "What are we gonna do with a felled tree?" you might ask.

FIREWOOD! Another prayer answered! God rocks my world! We prayed for firewood (so that when God provides the food we don't have, we'll have something to cook it over :) and He has given it! This is our tree in the picture with the telephone pole close by.

God's really cool in the way he works stuff out.

Speaking of cooking, we've been praying for saucepans. One of the two we've been using is not ours. The other one is broken and has a hole in the bottom. Everytime we cook, we have to use a neat cooking trick to patch it with maize flour and water. Also, they are a bit too small to feed all the kids currently. Mark sent out an e-mail asking a few different people if they wanted to donate a saucepan. We then realized we actually need 3, (two for cooking and another to replace the one we borrowed). The response: Four people wrote back and said they wanted to buy one so we bought the ones we needed and divided the cost four ways! Thank you guys soo much! The kids went crazy again with singing songs, dancing with the saucepans, and praying and thanking God for his provision.

Among other news, a small house church in Denver, (0f which i've been a part for a year and a half) sent a care-package to AMCC! We're super excited and even though we havn't recieved it yet, we're praying that it actually gets here. These are a few pictures of Molly and Sarah as they are sending us a "piece of home" in a jar full of Rocky Mountain air, dirt, and a pinecone! Haha! I love it! Thanks gals!
