Orphanage Outreach

On Friday, July 6th, we were able to go to a local orphanage here in Tegucigalpa.

We took water balloons, balloon animals, pinatas, face paint, and games to share with the kids while we were there. Here are some pictures of our time with the older kids!


Hanging the pinata

Opening up in Prayer

Sharing the Gospel with an EvangeCube



This was one of the hardest parts of our day - three of the 14 year old girls at the orphanage escaped while we were there. They jumped up on the roof and left. When we talked to the director, she told us that once they leave, they can not return to the orphanage.

Please pray for these 3 girls who are now faced with living in the streets.

Water balloon fight - this time aimed at Jose :)

We had a great afternoon of ministry with the kids at the orphanage.  We pray that we were able to give them a glimpse of the love of Jesus.  Please join us in praying that these children are able to be placed in forever homes and given the HOPE that comes only through knowing Jesus.


FIELD DAY!

On Tuesday, July 3rd, we had FIELD DAY at La Roca!  It was a day full of laughter and fun!

We started the day by gathering in the church for a devotion and prayer.

After our time together in the church, it was time for the FUN to begin!  We headed out to the nearby soccer field - and started our games!

Egg & Spoon races

Three Legged Races

Soda Bottle Bowling

Duck Duck Goose

After a few hours of fun - we took a break to treat the kiddos to donuts!  They were so excited!

After cleaning up their faces, we headed back out for some more fun! 

Making Balloon Animals

Water Ballon Toss

 After some of the games were over, we decided it was time for a water balloon fight.  There was only one rule - you could only throw the balloons at Daniel :)

Every kid - chasing Daniel :)

By the time our day was over, we were all exhausted!  The kids kept asking, "Can we do this again tomorrow?"  It was a hit - and a day that we will always remember!

Meals at La Roca

Over the last two weeks, we have been able to serve daily meals to the kiddos at La Roca.  We have been so blessed to be a part of preparing and serving these meals - as well as seeing their faces light up each day that we offer them food!  The Lord is doing great things - and we are so thankful that He has allowed us to be a part of His work!
