Children's Home

K.I.M.

Kids International Ministry

If has to do with kids, KIM does it!

Not surprising then, that they have a Children's Home for boys and girls, who find themselves fatherless, motherless.

But, before you get too sad about the above statement, these children are loved!

They have a place to sleep, clean water to drink, food in their bellies, and even, love!

And, they know about the love of Jesus!

I know because I had the privilege of spending an hour every evening with them during my recent trip to the Philippines. What a joy!

Every evening, half our team (the other half traveled to another ministry) would walk up the street to the Children's Home where we would be greeted with hugs and smiles.

Our hour together would begin with song. The children would line up and joyfully sing several songs for us. This might have been my favorite part of the entire week!

The swim team captains, which included Abbi, decided each night what songs to sing, which Bible story or skit to do, and games to play. It was great watching these high school seniors step into the leadership role. 

During the older kids' games, several of us took the younger children to another room to read with.

Three of the boys are in the final steps of adoption. Two will be leaving soon to meet their new families in Spain. While a third, John Lloyd, will soon be a Texan!

It was here we experienced one of the most heart breaking events of the trip. One evening, as we were exiting the home an ambulance arrived. Inside was a little girl- nine year old Elisia. Abused and abandoned, she was about to become the newest member of New Faith Children's Home.

She was frightened.

The look on her face was heart wrenching.

Words can not describe the sadness that overwhelmed us all.

We had spent days with these children, never truly understanding the pain and rejection they must have felt at some point in their young lives. 

Now we were witnessing it right in front of our eyes.

Please pray for Elisia as she adjusts to her new home and experiences the love of Jesus.

Also pray for John Lloyd and the other boys as their lives are about to make a dramatic change!
