Banquet

Last Friday we had a big party for all of the kids who have received heart surgery this year. It was great to see these kids running and playing and having fun. It was also great to spend time with these families who we have gotten close to as we have spent time in their homes with them and their children. Here are some pictures of the occasion.


the girls next to me and Abby both had surgery this year and the girl on the end (to the right) was inoperable. Please join us in continuing to pray for her!


This is the family of Heran. She is the taller girl in the gold dress. She had surgery in May and is doing much better! Her family has really welcomed me into their home - in fact I can't go there without them feeding me, no matter what time of day it is!


Here are all the girls in our Cili Kurdis - this is the special Kurdish dresses that women wear for picnics, weddings and other special occasions.


Here is Jeff with the Dad of one of the kids we sent in February, his son Zana is doing great! Jeff plays soccer with him every time we go to their house.
