The ministry of Help international “ City Mission/Father’s House” is reaching out to street kids in Manila:
Just before Christmas we where able to take Jeralyn (10) into the Father’s House.
We knew her from our outreaches in the streets.
She already was smoking and sniffing glue. Her father had died some months ago. So there was nothing left that could keep her at “home” any more. ( Home meaning a little room in a slum hut ) Off she where struggling to survive on the streets.
Now living with us in the Father’s House she enjoys being able to live as a child again.
Thankfully she appreciates any attention given to her. She is so excited that she already learned how to ride a bicycle and roller skate. Every single morning she is happily leaving for school.
After I bought her some new clothes the other day to my surprise she did not put them on, but neatly tucked them away in a wardrobe. When I asked her if she didn’t like them.
Her answer was: “ Of course I like them, but they are too nice to wear them.”
When we prayed over her the other night she wasn’t able to stop crying. Afterwards she shared with us how God ‘s love and comfort had touched her deeply.
It’s wonderful just to see Jenalyn being so happy in the Father’s House and watching her thrive in this place.
