Our surroundings in Kibuye lend
themselves to wonderment at God’s creation and an inclination toward engaging
one’s natural curiosity. Fortunately for the large number of kids on our team,
learning is not isolated to the classroom at Kibuye Hope Academy. Only a week
and a half ago, the school year began, but already the students are extending
their learning beyond the schoolhouse. Friday was our first Learning Experience
day at KHA, one of the new elements added to the school curriculum this year.

In the afternoon, the students had
more hands-on activity as they learned about composting and garden maintenance.
Discovering how "trash" can be used to cultivate the land and provide
delicious vegetables or beautiful flowers gives feet to the command to
"subdue the earth" as we become a part of God's overall plan to
restore what is broken. It is a privilege to be a part of this kind of learning
here with our team and our children.
Not only do all of these situations
serve to engage the kids and make for an enjoyable day, it makes education a
worshipful experience and opens eyes to the greatness of our God. As we watch
owls soar and wonder at the soft down feathers of the over-stuffed looking baby
owl, we see God's handy work and the beauty of our Creator. It connects us to
this amazing place to which He has called our team and our kids.

Thanks for this post. I had a family of barn owls nest in the attic in the house next door one year, and while they are fierce raptors and messy houseguests, they are also birds of considerable majesty. It was very interesting to see your owl.
I am praying for your whole community--success in sharing the good news, in providing God's mercy of good health, and for contentment and peace in your challenging situation through God's abiding comfort. God bless you all. Judy in hMB (a Myhre friend)
