Korah

I'm not sure I will be successful puting today into words, but I'll certainly do my best.  The brief history of Korah is that it was established as a leper community.  It is now in its third generation and has grown to include people with HIV.  These people are the poorest of the poor.  However, they are rich in spirit and love, and oh how they love Jesus!
Upon our arrival we were immediately swarmed by children.  We were greeted with hugs and holding hands everywhere we went.  We never went anywhere without them.  We visited the leper hospital and more hugs.  We have been told that the greatest thing we could do for them is not to give them money or things, but to touch them.  So we did!
We also spent time today with widows at Mission Ethiopia.  Several of them gave their testimony and then lead us in worship.  All the sound systems and electric instruments in the world couldnt have made this worship more intense.  These ladies let it all go before God.  They were so thankful for the blessings God has given them.
Not sure how many more days I'll be able to post regularly as we leave for Uganda day after tomorrow.
God bless! Eric
