Persisting

We have continued helping kids in San Jose with their homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Three new kids started coming in October, the youngest of whom is F, a fifth grade girl. On Tuesday this week I had a chance to talk with her and as I asked her about her mom and dad I found out that she lives with her grandmother, but her parents have both been in the USA since she was five years old (almost six years ago). I asked whether she missed them and the immediately replied "nah!" very stoically. This reminded me again of the importance of being there as role models, mentors and friends showing the love of Jesus to children. Please join me in prayer for F and her brother H as they continue to be raised by their grandmother in the absence of their parents.

This is the place where we meet. The window is for one of the three rooms we have at our disposal. Currently, due to low attendance (less than 10), we only use this room.
