I wanted to post some more pictures to give all of you a better idea of what we are experiencing over here. It is difficult to describe the emotions JR and I feel when touring these incredible places, especially when there is a story behind each child (most of the stories are heartbreaking!!). But I can say without hesitation that we ARE making a difference in the lives of these children and we certainly appreciate all of the support!!! The Bible verse that always comes to mind when I see these children is from James 1:27 "Pure religion is caring for orphans and widows in their distress." I can assure you the Gospel is being carried out in these places on a daily basis.
Bethel just blew us away because the blind children are so independent and have these huge smiles on their faces, especially when they sing. My favorite song was "Open the Eyes of My Heart". The van shown was purchased for Hope Foster Home last year by AML to transport orphans to/from the orphanage. If you look closely at the picture of the gray building, you will notice it is also a rock climbing wall used for the blind children. You can imagine how much they enjoy the exercise and the feeling of accomplishment when climbing.
Enjoy the pictures..................
