I am in Awe of what God is doing here! What is happening at Neema Village today is way bigger than the dream of two retired people wanting to care for abandoned babies.
It is bigger than one baby like Jasmine who was abandoned on the road and brought to Neema this month.
It’s bigger than the over 450 babies cared for at Neema in the last 13 years…
it’s bigger than our gardens feeding 200+ meals a day and the 15 cows giving milk and the chickens giving over a hundred eggs a day and the little preemie calf, named Dana, too little to survive but surviving anyway…
It’s bigger than the three Neema adoptions last month or soccer games with bible classes for young people or hundreds of men meeting to learn how to be good husbands and fathers.
it’s bigger than the 15 buildings on campus.
I think God is doing something Mighty and Lasting at Neema Village and we are standing back in AWE!
Kim, Kelle, Marq, Ashley and Michael and I all feel it, we can see it happening we just don’t know how to explain it all to you!
It’s even bigger than the dream of a trade school where men can turn “wine into milk” for their families and regain the respect and dignity that men need to stick around and raise a family.
Thanks to Mitch and Carson from Georgetown we now have a cleared off and leveled pad waiting for a trade school where men can learn to weld or repair small engines or become tailors or bakers or electricians or plumbers and learn to love and provide for their families again.
What’s happening is bigger than the dream of a big co-op warehouse full of MAP mom businesses for our women; hair businesses, used clothing businesses, sewing, vegetable stands and in the middle a cool coffee shop offering prayer with chicken salad sandwiches and fresh baked bread.
Our little MAP moms who have been kicked out, abused, hopeless, come to Neema and spend 6 months to a year being loved and cared for and taught how much Jesus loves them and has never lost sight of them and taught all kinds of classes and then we send them out alone to run a business.
I see a co-op where they can support and help each other as they learn to start their businesses together. I see it so decorated in front that as you drive into Arusha town you cannot miss it!
It’s even bigger than the 30+ Maasai men who have come in so far this year for baptism. I see men coming in by the hundreds, repenting and giving their lives to Jesus.
Yes, it’s way bigger than two old people with a dream.
It’s you and us together flowing out God’s love and his promises of a better life in places where it has been so very dry and drained and empty for so long.
I think Kim said it best, “God is Here!” and that dear ones is the exact Miracle that we need.
You’re gonna wanna come see this!
We will see you at the banquet in Fort Worth Saturday the 20th at 6pm!
