Bussi Island

So I just got back from a week on the great islands of Lake Victoria. The amazing Earwickers and I headed off a little over a week ago to an orphanage on Bussi Island. We spent our time every day wearing ourselves out playing with 160 orphan kids. Over the week we did a Vacation Bible School with the kids. It was lots of fun but a bit difficult considering that these kids are up every day without fail at 5:00am for an hour long worship and prayer meeting that they lead themselves. The oldest child at the orphanage was fourteen however most of them are between six and ten. Every day at five they are up for a child lead Spirit filled hour long time with Jesus; and every night at seven they have another hour and a half worship and prayer service that they lead on their own. The little kids on this island put just about any Christian I’ve ever met to shame with their devotion, dedication, passion and love for the Lord Jesus. We went there to teach them and learned more by far then we taught. During our stay on the island we saw and help plant a new church and saw seventy nine people get saved and baptized. Taught the kids how to fish and fly kites, gave away lots of hard candy and sang many songs around a large bonfire. It was the time of my life…
