1st MIRACLE


So on Saturday we went to Budondo.  It's a small village about 45 minutes from Jinja.  We go there to do a Bible study with the children.  About 100 children come every week to join in the teachings.  We start in a group and sing songs, this week the boys were separated from the girls and the boys sang to the girls in honor of Women's Day.  It was pretty awesome!

After we have a song service the children are split into 3 groups.  0- 5 yrs, 5-10 yrs, and over age 10.  I had the over age 10 group.  We read John 2, Jesus's 1st miracle changing the water into wine.  The kids are so wise.  They all knew the story, but this lesson has a great visual.

Plain old jug of water!


Grape juice packets!
Mix them together!!

Wine!! (or grape juice)




The result was 48 children bewildered that we had managed to turn an ordinary jug of water in "wine"..  Some of the children asked if this is how Jesus had performed this miracle!  It was awesome!!! The kids and I both had so much fun!  

After we were done our lesson, I gave the kids all bracelets my friend's daughter Alyssa had made for my to bring to Africa!  The kids were so happy!


Going to Budondo is such a rewarding experience!  I will be going to do family visits on Wednesday and Friday this week!

Thanks for all your support and prayers!
