Support for this weekend...

Hi everyone

Just to let you know we are heading off for the kids retreat today (it's 2pm our time now!). We would love your prayers and thoughts over these next couple of days.

We are going to be spending time with around 60 kids; many of whom have grown up on the dangerous streets of Talisay. The only family some of these kids have is MiA, and they are learning that they are beautiful and loveable children of the Father not the lowest of the low (which is how they are viewed by many).

Our heart (the team and MiA family here) is that this weekend would be a small part of the restoration of their hearts. Many of these children have been deeply traumatised by the abuse they have suffered; so this is not something we are taking lightly or expecting to be overnight, but we feel it is a central part of why we are here as a team.

Thank you in advance for all your support! We look forward to sharing photos and an update on Monday.
