Wow, what a day. Had a blast working at Jemima which is a school for mentally and physically handicapped children and adults. When we first arrived there last week our hearts just broke. Often in  Middle Eastern culture these people are seen as a disgrace but truthfully they have the biggest hearts. They love unconditionally, they are quick to forgive and most of the time wear a smile. Maybe we could all learn a thing or two from these people. It has been a truly heart breaking to hear some of their stories and where they have come from and the situations that they were in. Thankfully Jemima comes and helps these kids get out of the situations that their families put them in. One of the other areas that we got to help in was the brick making process. We took crushed up olive pits and mixed them with sawdust and water and compacted them into a brick like shape, as you can imagine this was a very dirty experience but full of laughter and bad outfits that were too bad to share on the blog. I think it is safe to say that these kids have showed us so much of Christ's undying love and ask nothing in return.
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3: 17-19
Thank you to everyone that has been praying for us, we really appreciate you!
Luke
