It was my privilege to have a vacation Bible school at the Arthur Murray children’s home in Wellington, Cape Town. These are children that have been removed from their parents because of social and crime-related problems. My heart was overwhelmed with their need for love and attention. They enjoyed learning about Jesus and how He cares for them.
They also made posters about love—and amazingly they knew exactly which pictures to pick. Also, my husband was doing HIV information sessions with the teenagers.
One thing I have learned from this experience—you have not loved until you have loved them that are not your own. It was a heart rending experience and I thank God for the opportunity, as we will now start work shops with the youth at the home as well.
I praise the Lord that I can work in HIS vineyard. I would like to request prayer for the children and the people who fund this home.
