Lunes

One of the things that is so refreshing about this place—Casa Para Niños Aleluya—is the humility of its staff and leaders. When you’re here, you quickly realize how BIG of a place it really is and just HOW MUCH good that’s been done.

Over 350 kids now have a place of refuge to call home…
Over 350 kids given a shelter over their heads…
Blankets and clothes….
Nutritious meals….
Access to a solid, Christ-centered, education…
Access to medical care….

Over 350 kids invested in, encouraged and shown the love of Christ—in both word and deed. Every day.  Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year. And when you’re here, it strikes you quickly at how incredible this place is.

But the leaders of the home are quick to point out: It’s God at work, not man or woman. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. The Spirit is truly at work in this place, and we’re blessed to be a part of it!

The team’s first official day at Casa was a great one characterized with activities such as powerwashing chairs and tables in their cafeteria, playing with the little babies, organizing afternoon programming including basketball, relay’s and soccer, a movie night (Surf’s Up) with the younger kids, and topping off the night with some worship and game of “Signs.” It was a fantastic first day, one that left most of us quite exhausted. (But that’s a good thing!!)

Below are some pictures from day one—hope you enjoy. Thanks for all the prayers, love and support. Keep ‘em coming!
