On Palm Sunday, we had the opportunity to share in the ministry with our dear friends the Millers. They are involved in a ministry here called Hearts for Hope and they run a number of feeding centers for children around Guatemala. Every Sunday afternoon from 3:30-5:30 they go up to the closest feeding center, at the settlement of La Primavera (only about 15 mins from our area), to conduct a children's Sunday School Program for kids ages 4 or 5 to 15. The first hour is when the kids come in a just play & get settled. Caden has been there a couple of times with them so this time he shared with them two orgami projects he had for them, a cup and a ball. With the help of Ms. Rensch (Lois is the high school math/science teacher at CAG for the past 20 years and will probably be leaving this year) to translate, Caden showed them how to do it and it was a big hit as you can see.
Aaron got his fingernails painted by the adorable Madelin seated next to him while others worked on puzzles (rompecabezas=head breakers) while they watched.
Lily was next and loved it!
Most of the boys play soccer on the third level of the building which was built specifically for this feeding center.
Then it is time to pack up and get ready for our singing time. Here is Kevin Miller helping things along.
Here is Becky, with two of her girls from the area. As you can see, it is such a blessing to work with these kids.
This is during our singing and praying time and what it is all about. Go God!
Hannah, Kevin & Becky's oldest daughter and Caden both had their birthdays this week so they sang to them and all the kids came up to give them hugs or high-5's.
Then the groups break into age groups and here are the younger ones listening to the story that Lois is sharing with them. Moriah, the youngest Miller is facing us, behind her is Lily & Maya, and across the table wearing their red shirts is Caden and his best buddy Joseph. What a great opportunity to sharing in the lives of these children even for a day. Thanks Millers for being faithful to what God has called you to and sharing that experience with us.
Fuzzy but another "only in Guatemala" experience. Obviously a motorcycle with a helmeted rider...what not might be so clear is the woman on back is holding a blanket on her lap with a small dog in it...Yup...and in front of the man straddling the gas tank is a small child. Maybe 4 years old...maybe younger. It is a different world here...but it is very comforting that God is God no matter where in the world you are!
