Buckets of Love -first visit

Our first visit out with the home based caregivers was to the home of Rafael Mumba who is HIV positive. After greeting him and sitting down the whole family came to sit with us and see why we were there. Rafael was thankful for all the supplies in the bucket. They will really help him in the days ahead as he deals with this disease. Luke Mwila explained everything that was in the bucket so that the family would know how to use everything properly. Then Kevin shared the gospel using Creation to Christ. Then Pastor Daka shared some more from the Word of God and gave Rafael the opportunity to pray. He wanted to pray to receive Christ right there with us. Rafael and his family say "thank you" to all those in America that helped put the buckets together and then have them shipped here for those in need. It was great to be a part of not only helping him to receive Christ but to also be able to help him physically with everything in the bucket.
Please continue to pray for Rafael as he suffers with this disease. Pray that he will grow in his new relationship with Christ. Pray for our team as we continue to give these buckets to the many that are suffering.
If you are interested in giving to BGR or even knowing more about them, there is a link on the right side of this blog.
