A quick visit continued

Please bear with me as I learn this new technology. I'm apparently not finding the path to a smooth entry! This is the house Brenda and Bob will call home for the next two years, the Lord willing. It sits at the back of the KIBBUSE school compound and has been recently remodeled by Arden and Joy Van Norman, the missionary couple who preceded us. Hopefully, we will move in around February 1st. Arden is at right. You can also see the seventeen-year-old Suzuki jeep we are hoping to replace with a Toyota Hilux pickup truck, enabling us to much better serve and provision this growing school of seventy-plus students. Pray with us!

"Faith House" is a tidy little cottage. Behind the french doors is a bright and airy living room. Adjacent, to the right, is the dining room. Behind that is a small hallway leading to the kitchen and bedroom. Behind the bedroom, along the entire back of the house, is a long, narrow bathroom. Even though there is no plumbing or sewage system in Nyamarwa, it has a flush toilet and shower. Water is delivered from the tower at left of the house.

The courtyard you see serves many purposes, from parking lot to classroom to product display forum to student assembly hall. All the female students are housed within the walls surrounding the courtyard - nine at the house to the right and twenty-seven more in three rooms at the back of the building that forms the front of the compound. It is a busy place throughout the day. Arden and Mary Joy both said they will miss it - especially the cheerful sound of the girls as they got up each morning, often singing praise songs while preparing for classes.

Brenda and I are more and more looking forward to being there!
