Not long after delivering the Entrepreneurship Series
teaching-ministry, Pastor Patrick opened a simple school for orphans just down
the road from his church, Christ Fountain Ministries. This was his practical
application of the material he'd learned. Divine Palace Orphan Center was
filled with 86 children from the vast surrounding area. The children welcomed
us with a song and big smiles on their faces.
Sharing with all the children about walking in the way of
love (Ephesians 5:1) is as always a blessing. We talk about practical ways kids
can love one another, not just the philosophic "be nice" kind of
speech. I don't know if the simple teaching helps but the prayers certainly do.
Following the teaching I washed the feet of 13 shoeless
children. Their bright shoes stark against the dust covered everything else. So
many brave little ones sat on the simple bench with their feet in the water.
Still as stone but not screaming for mommy…oh, right…they don't have a mommy.
It was a privilege to pray for the school, the children, and
the teachers before we left. Will you please continue praying for them as well?
