Backpacks!

Word of the Day: BACKPACKS

Yesterday we set out on a mission to take the BACKPACKS to an orphanage called Foyer D’Orelph. As we arrived it was hard to believe the living situation and just how many children were there. It was an exciting process to be able to deliver the BACKPACKS but it was hard to hold back the tears. One of my teammates from Gospel Fire asked if I was okay and I replied “no, I am not okay. This is not okay… these children…this hurts my heart. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!”

As we sat a girl came over and held my hand and began to lean on me. These children need love, hope, and a change. It was good to see that the supplies that we brought over were going to children who do not have anything. It was encouraging to see the smiles on their faces and at the same time saddening to know that they will continue to sleep on the concrete floors and wear the same stained/dirty clothes.

As we drove away I uploaded the pictures of us passing out the backpacks and my heart hurt. It hurt. I know there are GREATER THINGS ARE YET TO COME AND GREATER THINGS ARE STILL TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY.

We returned later that night to give them a couple boxes of rice enriched with protein that we received just a couple of days ago. This will help for 2 or 3 days but GREATER THINGS MUST HAPPEN.

It is a step by step process and I am looking forward to more open doors and I am looking forward to see God continue to move in amazing always.
