Let the Truth be Told…


Summer. A chance for the kids to get a break from school and to have amazing opportunities such as the trip to Malaybalay, Vacation Bible Schools, and numerous other activities. That means for the staff, everyday, all 37 children are all at home at the same time, so all-hands-on-deck for 3 solid months. It can be chaos as you can imagine - swimming, taekwondo classes, summer tutoring, basketball league, and not to mention getting all the kids to the doctor and dentist before school starts. It can be challenging day after day. But at the end of the day, while saying goodnight to the kids and tucking them into bed, there are so many tender moments shared. Last night was with Armie. She was expressing that she really misses her father, but immediately said, “But it’s OK…I have a Father, His name is Jesus!” Let the truth be told Armie! That is what keeps us all going; it is what this ministry is all about. In the chaos of life and schedules at the home, it is worth it to know that this ministry IS impacting and making a difference in the lives of these children. But we still look forward to school starting on June 17!
