After church and a wonderful lunch of goat, rice and beans, salad and potatoes, we walked down the street to Good Shepherd Orphanage, our partnership location for the week.
We met Sister Mona, who is in charge of the orphanage. She told us about the history of Good Shepherd and many stories of the children who have come through the orphanage.
One of the children, Francios who is now in his 30s, grew up in the orphanage. He was born handicapped with no hands and only one leg. However, through the grace of God and the care of Good Shepherd Orphanage, he grew up understanding and learning to cope and adapt to his limitations. He is now the director of Ash Ca, a home for the handicapped. The Lord is using him in amazing ways! We loved getting to speak with him and listen to the wisdom he had to share with us.
At Ash Ca, we served over 100 handicapped children and threw a Christmas party, complete with food, drinks and new shoes for everyone! It was such a blessing to be a part of serving them and getting our first glimpse of what the week will hold.
