Roderick landed today in Malawi with his father Bro Zacharias. Their luggage didn’t make it, but that didn’t damper the mood. Thandie said that the children were so excited to see Roderick. Only 20 children were able to go to the airport, but if they had the transportation all 100 would have been there. Roderick’s brother and cousin Elizabeth were also among the airport welcoming.
Roderick was the very first child to be adopted internationally from the Good Samaritan Children’s home (Savannah-Hope was the second). Roderick met his parents while they were visiting Malawi working along side the Gentry’s. They started the adoption process and after a long journey Roderick landed in America in November 2005.
This is Roderick’s first trip back to Malawi. He has been keeping contact with his friends through phone calls but has longed to see them again. He will be in Malawi for a couple weeks and looks forward to spending time with his friends and the staff at Good Samaritan.
Update on Vickie’s Teen Soul Winning Project:
Vickie has been taking a group of 30 teen girls into different villages every Saturday for hut to hut soul winning. This weekend will be their third Saturday. So far there have been 236 documented professions of faith. The girls are so encouraged and are look forward to going out each Saturday. Some are so excited to share the Gospel, that they aren’t waiting until Saturday, but witnessing to anyone who crosses their path. This past week Margaret who attends private school off campus, led one of her schoolmates to the Lord.
