TIM'S UPDATE

Hi everyone

Its Tim May, just giving you my perspective on the trip so far. Well, this has got to have been the most moving experience in my life to date !! The Kanlungan team are are the most dedicated and servant-hearted people I have ever met. What they give to these children is basically their whole life and more, and it shows in the kids.

The children are amazing, so loving and thankful to everyone they meet. Each one of them melts your heart and makes you feel so proud to have met and interacted with them, even if only for a short time. Its so easy to get tied up in the emotions of whats going on, yet very hard not to.

Today was so uplifting, to see all the kids come together and have loads of fun and a great day out. Near the end of the day we had some great worship time, during a couple of the songs I just stood and watched the kids worshiping. Boy do they know how to lose themselves in worship !! Looking around at them and watching the expressions on their faces as they lost themselves in worshiping god was so moving.

This day has been one of the most heart warming days so far. Not to mention head warming as I got sunburn on my head after spending about 4 hours in the pool without a hat on. I might regret that tomorrow lol.

Anyway will bring plenty more stories back along with some amazing pics !

Bye for now

Tim

Hi Tim, Mary and Mela here, It was a real blessing reading your update as we too thought our trip to Kanlungan was truly life changing! Especially praying and worshiping with the children in the evening, and seeing God working in their lives. God bless you all and enjoy the rest of your trip, please give our love to Sol and her amazing team! xx
