Shine like the heavens

On Friday, we had the joy of hosting two groups of teachers and administrators from Rosslyn Academy who came to learn about the ministry we are a part of at the Eastleigh Community Centre. Both groups were very encouraging to us and our colleagues at the centre. Throughout the day, the groups visited the various programs at ECC. Some of the teachers were very interested in connecting their classes with the school. We are also planning another painting day with some of the Rosslyn teachers to come and help spruce up the centre for the kids in Eastleigh. Beyond any physical help the teachers might be able to share with the students at ECC, we are very excited about the transformative power of loving presence as more people are able to come and volunteer, even for a short time, with us in Eastleigh. It was wonderful to see Chuck French, who had served in Eastleigh over 20 years ago with CBM, come as part of the group and greet men that he had impacted over two decades ago. The bright smiles and laughter among them was music in a hurting community.

"Those who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever."
