Loving the least of these

Yesterday was an amazing day at The Father's Heart orphanage in Manaus.  We love the way this ministry takes care of some of the most vulnerable children in this society and there are so many. Barry and Vania Hall are heroes of the faith as they work tirelessly to rescue children from horrendous circumstances that the local authorities find the kids in.  When they arrive at the Father's Heart, they are home.  Even non-believers who visit have said how strongly they feel God's love here.  

We had the privilege of joining in their work by playing with happy kids, calming the upset, rocking babies to sleep, helping with homework, making crafts and sharing the story from God's Word of how incredibly special each one of them is in God's sight.  
Our kids have been amazing and it's awesome to see how quickly they are able to connect with kids and how effectively God can use them on the mission field.  

We are headed back today for more fun and we will be sharing the gospel through special gospel soccer balls and hoping to work on some soccer skills as well in a local park.  

Please continue to pray for these precious ones to believe the truth about how much God loves them and how much they need a Savior.

Thanks for joining us on the journey!

  2. Thinking of all I know who heard truths so young that stayed with them or changed their lives. Praising God for the love there and forth is special opportunity to share more of God's love and truths in memorable ways. Praising God for the ministry of children to children and parents/adults who lead the way. Praying those ministered to and ministering would know anew how much they are seen, known and loved.
