SITAG recently built a new outdoor kitchen. This new one is huge and sturdy, with plenty of room for working together while talking up a storm!
To celebrate, we worked together the afternoon before the grand opening. We pulled, peeled, and grated cassava. We scraped and squeezed coconuts.
And when I went walking early on the morning of the celebration, I could hear the guys moving the stones and see the fire they had just kindled in preparation for cooking.
We gave the girls half a day off school, and they dove in eagerly to help cook cassava pudding, one of our favorite foods, alongside some of our favorite people.
"We're meant to experience the strength and encouragement that flow out of doing life together, helping each other live gospel-adorned lives that in turn adorn the gospel in the eyes of the world."
~Nancy Wolgemuth, "Adorned: Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together"
Everything pulled together just in time for lunch, and we sat around the table eating and savoring every bite of food and every bit of fellowship as we celebrated a new building sure to bind community tightly for years to come.
