Return Worship Centre

On Tuesday we had a late brunch and were briefed by Pastor Samuel about the Return Worship Center. Samuel runs this orphanage for about 15 children. He explained that being an orphan is a condition of the heart. The children just need to be loved. There are plenty of orphans in this world who have parents. His children are not orphans. His goal is not to create an institution but many homes where children are loved. This was certainly the case once we arrived there. Even though only 15 children live at this orphanage there were about 200 kids there from the neighborhood. We were mobbed by the kids.

The day was filled with lots of hugs and games. I found that you kind of loose your inhibitions when you just love on the kids. We are going back tomorrow for more organized activities. So our first full day was absolutely amazing. I'm sure God has much more amazing
thing in store for us over the rest of our stay.

Thank you for praying for me and out team. The team is very flexible which was evident with the patience exhibited with our luggage. God truly brought together who he wanted on this team.
