Chaplaincy

Blessings from the Chaplains desk:

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

It has been an amazing number of weeks! We have finally ended the school year at CdF school, and it was a blast teaching the children and watching them put into practice in their daily lives the bible stories and lessons learned at school. It has been an amazing adventure starting the chaplain program at Casa de Fe, starting the Sunday school services and the counseling with the children. We have seen amazing growth in the children, their desire to know and follow Gods word, and their love of spending time singing and learning. Our prayer is always that each child can come to know God in a personal way, and grow up to have a firm and stable youth and adult life. Because of their very hard childhood, one of the most important things for these children is that they can find stability in every area and aspect of their life.

Considering this, we have had to make a very tough decision. With the other ministries that we are doing taking up more of our time, we find that we can be at Casa de Fe only a couple days a week. Knowing that the chaplain needs to daily be in the lives of these children, creating a much needed stability for them, we have decided to step down from our position of Chaplain at Casa de Fe. This is not a decision that we take lightly, but rather consider it as being in the best interest of the children and of the foundation, so that someone can be full time in this position. We are grateful to God for everything that we have been able to start and put into place during our time here, for the growth in the children and the love for Gods word; and are praying for God to send someone that can carry on the work that we have started, someone that the foundation can come behind and fully support in this much needed area of care for the children, and who can bring it to even greater levels of impact than ever before.

We will, Lord willing, continue volunteering at Casa de Fe in the areas that we can and are asked to help, such as helping with bible teaching and translating, hopefully helping out teaching in the Sunday school, and including the youth in our youth groups that we do. We will continue to work alongside the foundation in the work that htey are doing in these childrens lives.
