Show and Tell from our Castle Hills Team

This will be a very long post with lots of pictures as I show and tell about the team from Castle Hills.  Who's with me?!

For the children's ministry, we separated the kids into three groups (Music, Story and Games).  Below is one group during the Bible Story.

Very young children are put in charge of even younger siblings.  This is a common sight all around Zambia.

Handing out crayons...

There was never enough time for the kids to finish coloring but they were fascinated with the chance.

We had to show the kids what to do with the crayons...

They quickly learned how to do it!

These three girls almost always come to my children's ministry each Wednesday.  From left to right: Sarah, Hadassah, Mary, Ruth and baby Abigail (Ruth's sister).  They are some of my favorite girls.

A shot outside at game time...

Another shot, notice the girl on the far left who is caring for a younger sibling (all day with no diapers).

Some of Levi's friends...

 This cutie let me hold him for quite a while which is a bit risky as all he had on was the hat and a shirt that was at least two sized too big...

The baby's leg and foot were so dry and rough.  When you think of babies, most people think of soft, supple skin.  Not here in Zambia, his poor little leg and foot were rougher than my hand.

Beautiful smile, precious girl...

This is Peter.  He literally attaches himself to me whenever he sees me.  He is not ever very far away.

More Peter...

And again, Peter who is reaching for my camera.  Notice the baby that I was holding back on the back of his older sister who really looked to be about 5 years old.

Playing outside.  Again, notice the baby on the back of a sister...

Zoe and friends...

After 5 days of children's ministry, twice a day - we showed the Jesus Film.  Here are just some of the kids who gathered to watch it.  They began running after the bus when we arrived.

 Waiting for sunset to start...

 The team blessed us with their left over snacks.  

This was one of the BEST thing that they gave us the whole time!!
