Today we started by bringing supplies to the orphanage to complete our ministry there. We brought mattresses, cleaning supplies, soccer balls and lots of friendship.
Elise getting a little help from Fernando.
Fernando getting a crash course on keeping accounts from Brien with Larry translating. We know we leave Fernando in good hands as he shares so much love with his neighbour, he is confident that the internet cafe owner next door will help him over the rough patches.

One form of appreciation! FEEL the love!
Boys with footballs ( as Peter would say)
Another form of appreciation! Fernando was so delighted to receive our service and gifts. We video taped part of his story that we want to share with you. This is a man who truly lives day by day trusting God to supply his needs and the needs of those in the neighbourhood he lives in.
Then Fernando prayed a heartfelt blessing on the team. Even though only Sherry and Larry understood, we all new he was talking closely with God and thanking God for his mercy and provision and finally asking for God's hand on the team as we leave.
Lord, may You continually guide Fernanado, and bring any resources/skills he is lacking in through the form of friendships & other visitors to him when he is in need.
