Amazing Grace Field Day!

Rick and Faye Meyer are friends from Portland and Imago Dei Community. They've joined the exciting partnership that the Theisen family has with the Sudanese. Over the past two months Rick and Faye have been loving and caring for the kids at the Amazing Grace. Each week they spend time in discipleship, games, songs, and conversation with the children.

This past week they held a "Field day" at the orphanage. Faye writes, "We made sure to explain that a field day meant games & fun, not returning to the fields for digging as they had already done for two hours before our arrival."
You can see more photos and read more about their day here: Life In Transition

Odds and Ends...

Stephen Alvarez is a photographer who has visited the partnerships in Uganda and Sudan. His beautiful work has appeared in National Geographic and Time. He recently started a blog called Picture Story Blog to give background info on some of his favorite photos. One of the orphans at Amazing Grace, Morris Taban, is in one of his photos this week.

So the United States Government rebate checks are heading into mailboxes soon, and a local Northwest organization is urging people to use the money to donate to organizations assisting vulnerable people around the world. Lahash is partnered with RISE08 to spread the news!
