Daraja Guests

Our friend Chloe is serving as an intern this year with Daraja Children's Choir from Africa.  They are touring the United States before returning to Africa next month.  They made a stop at St. Luke United Methodist  this week. Our family was so blessed to host three boys from across the globe in our home.  Two boys were from Uganda, and one was from Kenya.  Our children loved meeting and loving on these children for a few days.  The Parrott boys all gave up their rooms, so our guests could have their beds.  Everyone slept in Hannah's room, and our guests and their intern, TJ, had the downstairs to themselves. We traded cultures, in a sense.  In Africa, family members sleep in the same room together, because their houses are much smaller. When our Daraja boys left today, we were all so sad. James wanted his friends to stay here forever. They taught us about their lives and homes, and they filled our home with joy and laughter. To God be the glory for his amazing creation and for his Word to reach others across the globe.
