Antonio

Today we welcomed Antonio into our home! He actually arrived in our center last week, along with his twin sister, Eliza. They've never been separated and rely on each other a lot so we thought it best that he stay with her in the girls area for a bit while he got used to the center. We are praying he will adjust well to our dorm! Other missionaries here at the center have known of them for about a year. Their parents have both passed away and they were living with their grandmother. Sadly, she didn't want them and didn't take care of them. The little money she made carrying water, she spent on alcohol. The kids mostly begged in their community and people in the church helped as well. We are so grateful to be able to be here for children like these, to be able to pour the love of the Father into their wounded hearts, to take care of their physical needs and shower them with love and joy. Please pray for Antonio and his sister Eliza to feel at home here and to know they too are children of God!

Armando Chilongue

Welcome to Armando! His birth date is April 21, 2000. His older brother, Abelo, has lived in our dorm for about seven years so they don't really know each other. Sadly, their mother died in the beginning of October so Armando had to come live here as well. He's only just arrived this week so I don't really know him yet. He speaks very little Portuguese, mostly Shangaan, but he'll quickly learn and we'll be able to chat more. He's pretty quiet and shy but I think he knows what he wants as well! Please pray for God to bind up his broken heart and reassure him that he is a child of God!
