Those words introduced us to the new HCB dance school that FH is sponsoring. It's not your typical dance school because it's purpose is to use dance to teach students that they can have a future, to learn and practice Biblical principles to prepare for that future and to introduce them to the One who wants to give us all a future.
You could use that statement for everything FH does. Nothing they do is typical. It's not your typical soccer school, sewing class, library, family training center etc. All of it is designed in the most creative ways to fix the root causes of poverty.
Speaking of poverty, today was a day the team saw it up close, home visit day. On this day we visit the homes of our sponsored children. It's awesome and heart breaking at the same time. You don't need Sally Struthers crying all over your television set to get you care about the poor on this day.
On home visit day you see it, smell it and feel it. It's not theoretical. It has a name and a face. It's a face you've learned to love which makes it all the harder. But, it's just where Jesus is in HCB. It's where He's always been ,in the middle of the suffering. It's a privilege to be here with Him. Pray for the families of Horno Ckasa B. Pray God restores their community and that by His power they understand the height, breadth and width of His love.
Pray for the team that we are His hands tomorrow.
One more prayer request, pray for our transportation to and from the community tomorrow (Tuesday), there is a bus strike and word has it that no vehicles may be allowed on the streets. Maybe we'll just have to go for ice cream.
