Wow what a week! Everywhere we look we see God at work. In a place where it would be so easy to lose faith or become angry at God, there is hope. Just like the education center in Korogocho is a haven of hope and peace in the midst of unrest and chaos, there is a peace throughout this place that says God is here and we are not forgotten.
This week we were able to do so much for the kids. On Saturday, we were able to take the kids on a field trip to a boat park. The kids faces glowed as they were able to see animals and ride rides. In all of the excitement one of the little boys got sick. As he laid on my lap, tears rolling down his face, all I could do was thank God that I was there to love on him. As Tricia pointed out to me later, even when we get sick all we desire is our mother to comfort us and take care of us. For the kids here they don't get that privilege. They are left to comfort themselves. What an honor it was to be used by God in this way to be the hand of God to this young child.
We were also able to provide the children with a sweet treat of sugar cane this week. Their eyes just lit up with the excitement of such a rare treat. The room was filled with happiness as were able to give each child a sugar cane of their own. To top off our week we were able to sit in on a True Love Waits class. Here we were able to give an American and a Christian perspective to these kids. God is at work here and it is amazing!!!
