End of year parties...

As the year comes to an end it is time for parties

Options

The whole Options team gathered at our house for a time of fellowship and end of year celebration.

Hosted by the Int'l Volunteers, the girls prepared all the salads while Nathan manned the meat at the braai









After Secret Santa's delivered presents, volunteers shared how working at Options affected them this year... the comments varied from "While at Options, I forget that I am HIV positive (because I am accepted unconditionally)" to "Options is not a 'job' it is a place that I can relax... I know if I am going through a time of challenges, I will be listened to and prayed for."

"Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel." Prov 27:9




Baby Party


Every year Options celebrates life... the birth of babies born during the year to women we have counseled.

While the Int'l Volunteers painted faces and played with older siblings...  

The moms enjoyed a time of sharing testimonies, good food and fellowship

and... the babies slept!!

The fruits of our labor!!  


Thank you Lord for allowing us to share in the lives of these women and watch them choose life!!!
