I've been in India for two and a half weeks and I'm still trying to wrap my head around what we are experiencing. It's hard to even know where to begin. We are working at a Daycare Center in the middle of brothels, where the children are extremely at-risk for being prostituted themselves. Most of their parents are caught in forced prostitution; some don't have parents at all.
But I don't see despair in their eyes when they are at the Daycare. They are learning about Jesus. They are singing to Jesus. They are praying to Jesus. For the children, the Daycare is their refuge, just as Jesus is mankind's refuge. I am filled with hope for them knowing that they are being lavished with the love of Christ for a few hours a day. I pray every little heart at the Daycare encounters Him and knows just how much He loves them. I feel so blessed the Lord has given my team and I the chance to love on these kids. Their smiles melt my heart. 🙂
