Concordia Day Care

We had the awesome opportunity and privilege to meet and play with some amazing children at the Concordia Day Care center.  The kids were all smiles as they drew pictures with sidewalk chalk, blew bubbles and colored with the markers we brought them.  The team from Lutheran Hour Ministries came with us and also lead us in songs and games.  This center provides a respite to these children who live in conditions most of us have a hard time imagining.

The center not only provides for physical needs of the children but also shares the love of Jesus with them.  At Christmas and Easter the parents are invited to come and learn of our heavenly Father and his love.  I pray that their hearts are open to believe and receive Christ as their Savior.  

I am having a hard time putting into words the feelings that come considering our life back home and all of the blessings we take for granted.  In the midst of this slum is a safe, clean, and loving place where His children can play, smile and laugh. These kids were amazing and I count myself blessed to have the opportunity to meet them.
