Team Mongolia
October 16, 2010
Greetings from Mongolia,
Spending a night in a ger has connected us with the Mongolian people in a way nothing else can. The vast countryside, the big blue sky, the amazing stars, the warmth of a blazing fire inside a cozy ger -- all of this is exactly the same as it was for these nomadic people a thousand years ago. Some things have not changed. We return with a deeper understanding and compassion for the challenging life here.
Back in the city today, we were treated to a concert by The Children of the Blue Sky Choir. These 30 children are all part of World Vision's programs, and they have changed the way everyone here feels about the potential of "street kids". Their performance was enchanting. We smiled all the way through, with a few tears in our eyes -- happy tears for the lives moving forward after overcoming such incredible challenges.
A group of university students met with us later this afternoon and filled us with hope as they shared their hearts for helping the children of their country. They are a group started by World Vision to build leadership in young people of all ages.
Thanks for following our story!
Sandy
Sunday the 17th they will attend a church service; Monday the 18th spend time with WV Mongolia staff before they depart for home, stopping overnight in Korea enroute. Arrive back in Seattle Tuesday, October 19.
Prayer
Pray that the ladies will continue with stamina and good health and that things here at home are going well for each of their families. Pray that as they travel that they will be a blessing to each other and to those that they meet and that God will use them mightily to spread His Good News. Thank the Lord for this incredible trip for these women! Ask Him to bless their travels as they return to Korea and then on to home.
