Feeding the kids

 

"Duck, duck, goose!"  the little boy shouted as he tapped his friends head and started running around the circle.  Laughs and smiles were everywhere as we played duck duck goose with the children at the beach.  There are usually 40-70 children who gather together as we pull up on the tricycle, with a pot full of spaghetti or chicken rice soup.  A few months back we started coming here to feed the children who live in the homes here.  There are so many many families that don't have enough money to give their children proper meals each day.

 We usually tell them to go home and grab a bowl and spoon, and come back to get in line.  Our friends in Infanta actually started this idea and shared it with us.  It has been such a wonderful ministry so far.  After everyone has their food and has eaten, we sing bible songs and play games.  We are hoping to continue doing this at least once a month.  This past time was a blessing, as 2 friends from America visited and helped us by serving and joining in on the activities.

I regret to tell you that the gentleman I wrote about in my last blog, who was very sick, passed away two weeks after I posted.  My husband and I were able to travel to the town, attend the funeral, and bless his wife with extra money for food for her family (she just had her 6th baby in December).  Thank you to all those who donated last month, we were able not only to help her, but feed more children as I mentioned above!  Thank you, thank you, so much for your love.





Another project happening here is PenPals!!

 My sister in America was able to help me link together some of the kids at her church; so they started writing each other back and forth.  It has been so exciting to see the true joy that the letters are bringing the kids, and the fun they are having sharing about their families, schools, hobbies, and favorite bible stories.  These are just a few of the kids involved here in the photo's.  I believe we have about 15 total.



Thank you again for reading, praying, and being apart of this journey.  God bless you all!!  Love you so much.
