Ex prisoners who are converted in prison and now evangelize as Evangelists in prison.

Part of our team who work with the children, with in the middle the director in the blue dress.

Daily life here in our street is the usual. A man pushing his wheel barrow and shouts “Bananas”. The garbage truck goes by with a loud tingling sound with poor people in front checking the garbage for anything useful. People who come to our door to ask for leftover food or money, or try to sell something. The worst is seeing children and teenagers in dirty clothes begging or sniffing glue. But nobody opens the door just like that for somebody who knocks, before asking “Who is it”, because there are many assaults here in Colombia. That is why most people have a neighborhood guard for day and night who walk the neighborhood while blowing a whistle so everybody knows that he is doing his job.

The work we are doing here seems just a drop of water on a hot plate, but all bits help. Praise God.

A Colombian colleague who works in another children home had to see her husband die slowly in her arms because he did not want to hand over his motorbike to some armed boys who demanded it. With his daughter of 3 years old on his lap he arrived at the children’s home to pick up his wife at 5 PM. His wife ran out when she heard the shots. With throwing stones she managed to send the 2 guys away. They did not even take the motorbike with them. He died on the way to the hospital. At the funeral she told everybody that he died as a hero trying to protect her and her belongings.

Would you like to send this poor lady a gift, please mark it “Widow”.

Thank you very much for your gifts and prayers

God bless you
