About two years ago this week, we broke ground on a place called Casa de Esperanza. The "House of Hope" is a beautiful place and there are now 16 children there that our God has rescued from places that are very difficult for me to even think about. The oldest child that we care for is 10 and almost al of our kids have been beaten, starved, raped, prostituted, ignored, hurt, wounded, or abused in other ways. Looking at them now - you might never suspect any of this. They are happy, love to play, learn, and be around people. They are very trusting of the people that come to Casa. God has made this place a refuge for the hurting.
Casa de Esperanza is where we worked on Friday. Casa is on a beautiful property in a community called Santa Ana. Our work included assisting in the construction of new Sunday School classrooms for the church in Santa Ana, working to restock our pharmacy in the clinic, we also worked on the playground at the children's home - our job was to add wood shavings to the area below the equipment so that the kids would not be hurt as often when they fall from the swings and slides. We also had a small clinic where all of the children from the children's home were examined by Kim and several of the children from the area around the children's home were also treated for various needs.
We finished our day by sharing a great meal and celebrating the 50th birthday of our bro - Dennis Carter.
It was truly Another Great Day in Honduras!
Blessings,
Marc
