Wednesday was my first day in the orphanage and my heart has been aching ever since. The orphanage was started by a woman whose daughter (Sibongile) died of cerebral palsy at a very young age. The woman promised Sibongile on her death bed that she would dedicate her life to caring for other children with this disease and others.
The good news is that the Lord is doing great things. Sibongile currently has 2 locations and is working on a third.
The first location is just two large metal cargo containers with a few cribs and a pile of blankets on the floor covered by disabled children. There are 3 "mama's" and about 20 special needs children within the two containers. Almost all of the children must be fed through tubes in their tummy's.
The second location was a small house that was actually quite nice. God is doing great things and soon blessing Sibongile with a third location. The children that are currently in the metal cargo containers will be able to move into a home and the containers will be used for an office.
In other news....
My outreach location has been confirmed and I will be going to India!! I will get to you soon with more details.
I'm leaving tomorrow for outreach in Jeffery's Bay. I will be there staying in the townships for 6 days. Please keep me in prayer.
Love you all.
