Lauren's church in Ohio, St. Mary's parrish, had a vacation Bible school where the kids made a huge stack of cards and letters to each of the kids at the casa. Each child got about 5 different cards personally addressed to them and decorated by a child from the church. Some of the cards were from a Spanish class and were written in Spanish. The kids were all very excited to have something special sent to them personally. Thanks to Lauren and everyone at St. Mary's for this very thoughtful gesture. Lauren and Mark also have a web page devoted to the kids here at Casa Corazón where they are actively trying to get padrinos (sponsors/godparents) for each of the kids. http://www.the-orphansprayer.org/
This is my Honduras Mission trip blog. I am living at Casa Corazón de la Misericordia in San Pedro Sula since June 2007 with 38 wonderful children infected with HIV and orphaned. I also regularly visit my Godson at Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos near Tegucigalpa.
My sending churches are Church of the Messiah, who accepts donations on my behalf at: 816 Kempsville Road, Chesapeake, VA 23320 and Iglesia Torre Fuerte en Norfolk, Virginia
Thank you for your prayers and support!
James 1:27 - Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being poluted by the world.
Luke 9:48 - Anyone who takes care of a little child like this is caring or me! And whoever cares for me is caring for God who sent me. Your care for others is the measure of your greatness.
