Children’s Day

On June 1st we celebrated children’s day here in Mozambique. It was so much fun to take all of our children to a local restaurant. They were all dressed in new clothes and they are always very excited when they realize they are going to a restaurant. The day also reminds me of the many children in the world that are left homeless, hungry and suffering on the streets. Many more will be orphaned this year because of AIDS and many of them will have to live with AIDS. We see the suffering here in Mozambique almost on a daily basis. We are overwhelmed most days with the needs of this nation and we look to Jesus for a miracle. He died for each of these children and He is calling them to Him. Hawa and Antonio joined our family here in Mozambique, both of them have mothers that are dying of AIDS. Hawa is HIV positive and we still have to test Antonio. Another mother came for help last week, she is dying of AIDS, she no longer have the strength to take care of her child. Our second house are almost full, but Jesus are bringing more children to us. Please continue to pray for us as we welcome the ones Jesus brings to us into our family. (More photo’s of children’s day in our photo album) Photo: Aida and Gercio.
