Zacchaeus???

Today was our first day at Mangwaneni Carepoint.  So many awesome things happened, but I just wanted to share one with you now before I hit the sack.  I took this picture earlier in the day.  I didn't think of it then, but, during a little team meeting this evening before we split up, we were discussing a few things and the story of Zacchaeus came up.  After the meeting, I went up to my room and was downloading some photos and saw this pic.  This is, essentially, Zacchaeus and Jesus up in the sycamore tree!  Actually, that's not Zacchaeus, it's one of the older boys in the carepoint.  The other guy, Steve Rowland, was being Jesus to this boy.  He didn't just tell him to come down, he went up in the tree with him!  Steve spent the entire day with the older boys being Jesus.  This is a group that for some can be hard to connect with, or have them connect with you, but from the first minute there, he was awesome!  And let me just say, Steve will sleep good tonight.  He was nonstop Jesus and I just wanted to say thanks, Steve!  You're a great role model for these guys.
