Ola to all you Gringas back home (forgive me, my spelling is as bad as my spanish) Today we went to drop off the boys in "Saywattapecka" to help build an addition to Oscars church. But on our way there we stopped at an orphanage Destino del Reino ran by a wonderfully inspiring lady named Rhonda, God has built for them 2 homes, church, and a school (see pic above) and are in the progress of building a medical building. Her stories of miracles and the power of how God is answering all of their prayers is an inspiration to all of us and we can see what kind of difference ministries like Feed my sheep can do with Gods help. We also stopped by Vida y libertad another orphanage that cares for 30 ninos and I have to say this was a very emotional stop for me. When I looked at these children's smiling faces I could also see the longing in their eyes for parents that can not support them. The longing of what it must feel like to be loved and held only the way a father/mother can do. I know that these children's basic need are only barely being met and with the donations slipping away slowly from Vida y libertad the true need is to be witnessing to them to show them that they do have that agape love in Christ and that he is the way to true happiness and the end of their suffering. I am so excited to do the medical clinic for the next 2 days. More ninos to hold and to love and more opportunities for God to do his work. This trip has been a roller coaster of emotions and an experience I never dreamed of. Blessing to all of you back home........PRAY PRAY PRAY God gives what need, if only we ask. Love to all Kathy Johnson
