(our latest steps)

August 10, 2015
What a better way to end the tour, than with a fun
His Little Feet Step Up 5K around Windsor Lake?!
 
 Miriami stretching before we start!
 The traditional group photo before the race.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
Your love and support means the world to us! 
 On your marks, get set, GO...
Light Your World! :)
And the winner for the boys? 
BESU!

Today there was most certainly a grand party in Heaven! 
Each child individually chose to publically express their salvation
in Jesus Christ and the new life that He offers 
through His death and resurrection. 

"Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, 
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead 
by the glory of the Father, so we too might 
walk in newness of life."
Romans 6:4
“Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.” 
- Watchman Nee
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, 
but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live 
in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, 
who loved me and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20
Jump for joy!
Now it's time for the End of the Tour Celebration!
Families, pastors, and HLF friends came beside the children
to celebrate their time here with His Little Feet,
and then commission them to 
"GO LIGHT THEIR WORLD" back home. 
  
"Carry your candle, and run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
And hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world!"
Lyrics by Chris Rice
Also, today Auntie Katie and Carris celebrated their birthdays! 
You both bring so much joy to us 
and the His Little Feet children! We love you!

Our last concert of the 2014-2015 Light Your World Tour!
Praising Jesus with Auntie Christa has always been 
a highlight for the children.  
 "You are the reason why we sing,
You are our hope, our everything,
We will praise You, we will praise You Lord!"
Lyrics by Ed Cash

 "You've made us ready,
You've made us worthy.
Shine like the sun for everyone!"
Lyrics by Matt Maher

Earlier today the girls had a Tea Party to celebrate 
the birthdays and lives of 
Millie, Lawmi, Carris, Auntie Katie,
 Auntie Courtney, and Auntie Liza! 
It was so much fun!
We love you all so much! 
Even Avagale and Josie joined in on the fun!

 Party in the Park time! The kids had a blast celebrating
the conclusion of their time here with 
watermelon eating contests...
 ...water balloon fights...
 ...three-legged races...
...and face painting!

Saii and Apuii always seem to be singing worship!
Thank you, Uncle David, for joining them with the guitar!
What an amazing double rainbow! 
Thank you Lord for reminding us of your promises
and unfailing love!

We've spent the past four years watching children 
from all over the world run to the arms of their "Uncle Ben." 
Thank you, Belay, for touching our lives 
and so many others. 
You are always a part of the family His Little Feet family!
We are so excited to see what God has in store ahead of you
in Ethiopia and your ministry Hope for the Fatherless!

 “Then the righteous will answer him, 
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, 
or thirsty and give you something to drink? 
When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, 
or needing clothes and clothe you? 
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, 
whatever you did for one of the least of these 
brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"
Matthew 37:40
