There is nothing quite like God’s precious little children running to embrace you with no reservation or hesitancy. The joy of seeing a group of Americans pull up is the highlight of life for these children living in extreme poverty. The feeling of being an outcast fades away as hugs and smiles are exchanged and the love of Jesus pours out from those who came to serve. The blessing flows both ways. This summer we had the privilege of hosting 2 mission teams. * Shorepoint City Church, our home church, from Brookfield, Wisconsin, sent a team of 11 people who served by providing; Bible Lessons, Games, Crafts, Worship, Clothing, Plumbing, Electrical, and if you ask the boys- most importantly-Soccer Nets! *Veritas Scholars Academy students came and served with; VBS, Tree Planting, Painting Projects, and a Clothing Distribution. Our hearts overflow with gratitude and joy for the provision these teams provided. Both groups served with an outpouring of the fruit of the Spirit. When mission teams come to serve the children in Monte Verde, they provide the building blocks for hope in Jesus-Our Strong Tower!
