As I write this, Ebonie is doing her first talk in front of the whole conference - she is talking about the importance of children to Jesus and how that means that children are also important for us who work with children.
She has been sick on and off since we arrived, due to the travel and heat and food changes...and even this morning before she spoke she was sick but we all prayed with her and it is a great testimony to see her up in front of everyone - she speaks very well - clearly and with confidence. It is very refreshing to hear a child speaking with such maturity and authority. Micah will get a chance to speak tomorrow, and both of them will be presenting object lessons as the conferences progress.
There are about 120 delegates at this point, a good mixture of young and older, mostly women and some men. It is also a predominantly Tamil speaking area, so much of the translation will be with people who are attending the conference. We'll write some more when this conference is done, but for now it's time to be present here....
