The last two days have been incredible.Tuesday evening Sue told some of Albert Tait’s story in her chapel message. Albert was from villages and reserves north of Thunder Bay and his story of a difficult life is very familiar to many of the children here. The entire group was silent as Sue told Albert’s story and how Albert’s life was changed when he gave his life to Jesus. All 17 very busy, energetic boys were completely attentive. The Holy Spirit was clearly at work in all of our hearts.At the end of chapel, Bibles were distributed to the children. Each name was written in the front of their Bible. The Beaver team shared a reading from their new Bibles.
Last night the theme for supper was 'Backwards'. We started with dessert, wore our clothes backwards, and many other creative ideas. Tonight the theme was silent. I have to admit that it was painful to sit and not talk. It was fun to watch.
The team is tired tonight. They have been going very hard and have been great with the children. There have been some good personal connections in small groups with the kids.

Great to hear about all that you are experiencing and accomplishing. Love the pics and especially the stories of what God is doing in the kids. Our prayers are with all of you.
