A family affair
Topic: Mission
Posted on behalf of Cindy:

We are here as a family because we feel God has called us all here. In many ways the children are missionaries as much as we are. There is a 13 year old boy in the hospital now undergoing a series of painful operations for a terrible scar that keeps his chin pinned to his chest. He is an orphan with no real family to visit him and bring him food. I told the kids his story after we met him at the hospital. Allison decided to donate one of her books to him and Austin wanted to give him something to eat. We went and bought him a bunch of bananas and visited with him. All three of the children talked with him and we had a nice visit. We plan to go back and see him during his stay. For school this week Austin is memorizing the verses in Matthew where it talks of letting your light shine among men so that men may see your good deeds and praise the Father in heaven. May He be praised!
