Like a mentioned before we are work a Asha Mission this month. This home houses 33 kids that truly love God. Some of these children’s parents are hindi and it is great to see that these kids have the knowledge to pray for them. These kids have such a longing to grow spiritually that it makes me want it so much more.
The kids wake up at 5 am every morning to pray. At this prayer time the kids sing some songs, read a chapter from the Bible, and of course pray. They also do the same thing before bed. They have a prayer time at 630 pm everyday but it is a little different. At this prayer time they sing and pray like the others, but at this time they do a bible lesson ( which my team had the chance to actually do). I think i need to explain how the pray during these times. These kids pray like nothing else. They all stand up and they say 1, 2, 3 start and they all start praying. The first time you hear them pray might think they are not really praying for anything important but they are. The first time i heard one of the boys actually praying, I was shocked. He was praying for his friends and family. Praying for blessing and just praising God. They also pray without stopping for 5 to 10 min. every time. Why should we not all pray like this?
The kids are such a blessing to me. I knew from the first day that we were here that it was going to be hard to leave the kids. I had a surprise that didn’t help and that was that i had to say by earlier then expected. This is because during there summer break, which started a couple week ago and goes to the end of June, many of the kids go home to be with their family. I cried every time one of the kids left. I was preparing myself to leave but i wasn’t ready for the kids to leave me.
I will miss Asha Missions and the kids so much and i’m counting down the days till i can come back to visit!!!
