Boaz et le Papou


This week we were surprised to learn that Boaz would like to be a Papou. Perhaps you can see the resemblance between the two pictures. One never knows what will next capture the imagination of a little person. A man from PNG came to visit Albertville and Boaz's class went to see him and from that time, he has declared that he's a papou too. It has been interesting to observe his imagination at work. At bedtime, he wanted to sleep on the floor because that's what a papou would do. We did eventually convince him it was OK to sleep in bed. The next day, he wanted to run to school rather than ride his bike because the Papou run everywhere. To really take the cake, when he got up this morning, he created an entire Papou outfit (including loin cloth). Only time will tell how long he will continue to be a papou. For us, we were happy to see he enjoyed his time with somebody so different because he is going to be meeting lots of interesting people in his near future. Thanks again for everyone of you that prays for us, we appreciate it!

As I have been drawn into a closer walk with the Lord He has given me the privilege of assisting you in the work of prayer for your personal spiritual life, the Pastors of Togo and of course for the richness of Christ in every aspect of the day to day efforts in the life of your family. The story of Boaz is one filled with the very best aspects of what it truly means to see the world and our Lord through the eyes of a child. God bless you .......
