Coming off the plane to all the snow and cold temperatures sure is a shocker. One could get used to day time temperatures of 25 deg. C.
On behalf of the team, I would like to express a big thank you to all those who followed along with us on our trip via this site. Your comments and prayers were greatly appreciated. Included are all those who gave financially to this worth while cause.
To the CDA staff at the girl’s home, thank you for your kindness, generosity and the meals you provided.
To the girls at the home, thank you for allowing us to share in your lives. Thank you for teaching us how to love one another. Through out our stay there, it was a joy to see how all the girls cooperated with one another and how they cared for each other.
Thank you to Riccardo, our driver, whose driving ability was par none. Thank you for your dedicated service. Thank you to Jimmy whose concern and dedication for our safety was greatly appreciated. Thank you to those at CDA who in one way or another were part of this trip.
Thank you to Clara and her staff for providing us with lodging. Thank you for the wonderful meals and allowing us to make ourselves at home.
Thank you to Rick Postma and the staff at Word & Deed for all their efforts in planning and organizing the trip.
Thank You to our families who stayed home. To our wives and children who held down the fort while we were gone.
Above all we give thanks to God, who kept us safe, kept us healthy and provided for all our needs. As a group we were privileged to have experienced another part of God’s world and His marvelous creation. God is truly great. God is good, always!
Psalm 111
Praise the LORD.
I will extol the LORD with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
Great are the works of the LORD;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and compassionate.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
They are steadfast for ever and ever,
done in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
