I am so beyond excited to share with you all that God is doing in this ministry right now!
This week, we received a call to take in a new little boy with special needs who was found wandering the streets. We are excited to see how
God uses this ministry to begin healing his little heart. He has already been
able to make tiny steps of progress even after a few days of intentional
teaching and time.
Our new little one! |
Even though the majority of our ministry focuses on
restoration and healing for the kids that come live in the shelter, we have all
been praying for opportunities to reach out to this broken village as well! The
first step toward this vision was to invite one of the girls we knew from the
village to join our weekly teen girls’ Bible study. Her heart is currently
soft to hearing about the Lord. Jenny also has been able to meet with her
one-on-one on the weekends to follow up on what we’ve talked about in the
study.
God recently just revealed another amazing opportunity when
a couple girls in one week came to our doors asking if we could help them learn
English. God laid it on our hearts to organize an English class
that would meet twice a week. We met for the first time this week! God brought 8 girls between the ages of 13-25 to our first class and we
have already had 2 more ask to join! We are excited to build relationships with
them and invite them to our weekly Bible study if they are interested
in learning about the Lord!
Another HUGE answer to prayer is that after years of hard work (calls, legal appointments, etc.) two of our children just got birth certificates!
Now they can be recognized as citizens and receive credit for their schooling.
Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you so much for partnering with us in prayer! I am
beyond excited at God’s movement here! I have posted some specific requests on the above Prayer Requests page. God is amazing!
