Each One a Treasure
Here’s just a few of the children we visited after our meeting at the Governor's Office. These are the very types of children we will be serving through the churches in this particular region.
Keep in mind that most of them have already been in the system for many years, often abandoned as babies.
THE GIRL'S HOME
"Z" - Her mother and grandmother burned to death. Her father subsequently abandoned her as an infant on the steps of the orphanage.
"R" - Her parents divorced. The father then abandoned her.
"S" - Her father was killed under Saddam Hussein. Her mother then died of unknown causes.
"H" - Her father was killed under Saddam Hussein. Her mother then remarried. The new husband didn't want her or her sister, so they were given to paternal grandparents. The siblings were treated badly and eventually abandoned.
THE BOYS HOME
"C" - Abandoned
"L" - Abandoned
"M" - Abandoned

expectant, hopeful, skeptical, you can see it in their eyes.....Praise God for each of these children and the plans our Savior has for them through World Orphans.
