Making Friends...

In our orientation time with our interns and teams each year we share with them that the best way to show Christ's love to the kids and teens we work with is to show them that you care, that you love them, that you are willing to invest in them... that you want to be their friend! This is always a good suggestion when you want to share Christ and the hope of salvation with anyone, but with these kids it is most times a critical aspect of gaining an open door and open heart.

As you can see... our new interns have jumped right in! They spent the day visiting the kids at Ludus orphanage and baby hospital, at our group homes and finished the night having pizza with our mentor apartment teens. It was a full day of loving on folks and they did it with a smile and with genuine love overflowing! What a blessing it will be to have them working with us and alongside the teams this summer!
