Romans 10:14-15

Imagine children sitting in their own urine, others playing with trash, and another playing with a dead bug.... This was the scene at the orphanage we visited today. The children are literally starved for attention. One little boy giddily laughed when herbie picked him up. I doubt he has been picked up in months.



I engaged another child in playing with a shape sorter and then was whisked away by another. However, wherever I would go, this child would seek me out.


They were constantly in our faces, touching us all over - sometimes in inappropriate places. But how would they know that it's wrong to do that if no one has told them? How do children learn unless someone teaches them? How do they learn to love unless they are loved? More importantly, who will pray for the least of these unless we do?

Unkempt,
filthy dirty,
and severely neglected
barely scratches the surface in describing these orphans.

Beautiful,
image bearers of Sovereign Creator,
fearfully and wonderfully made loved by jesus Himself -
This too barely begins to describe these sweet children.



Praising Him for the opportunity to love on the least of these!

Adelynn's pig tails were special entertainment for this little girl!

Will you join us in prayer for these defenseless orphans in china and around the world?

 If you don't, who will plead their cause?

Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17
