Stephanie in Ghana- First Orphanage visit

Hello Family and Friends!! Sat. July 2

I am doing well and I Pray that all of you reading are doing well!!

I went today to a Mother Theresa Orphanage! It was truly an experience!! It consisted of women and children with AIDS.

It was difficult to see some of the children that were much older than they looked. Most were 8 or 10 years of age and their bodies would look 4. They were referred to the orphanage by the local hospital for care and housing.

The children were very happy we were their. We were able to play games and cuddle with the younger ones.

Many of them had sad stories- one particular girl was stabbed and beaten by her mother and was left developmentally delayed, blind, and deaf.

The women we were able to Pray with. The sense in the room was darkness and death but with God life entered that room in the name of Jesus!

I just Praise God that we were able to find it and we will going back on a regular basis to take the Love of Jesus Christ and a few needy items!! The language of Jesus trandscends all cultures and languages!!

For His Glory!!
