That's how Lifesong's partner in Honduras (TOLM) is serving the children in the 2nd poorest country in the western hemisphere...
DE-PARASITING PROGRAM: Motivated to evangelize, several ministry teams set out, in late March and into April, to cover 23 different municipalities and there perspective schools, distributing pills for parasites. To paint a clearer picture as to how many individual schools were visited, one group alone visited around 55 schools. These groups set out on a Monday not returning until Thursday or Friday.
Children were de-parasited and many heard the Good News of Salvation - receiving Christ as their Savior.
- a community water pump worked but it only provided them with very dirty water
- another community did not even have a school building to meet in and so held classes in an adobe brick building that was badly deteriorating
- in many of the places they visited the children did not even have bowls or glasses to receive their lunch with
- one other area did not have bathroom facilities or running water
- also found was a nine year old girl that was unable to attend classes because of a heart condition that her parents could not afford to take care of, contacts are being made to help her with this condition
another way Lifesong for Orphans is striving to fulfill Our Pledge... to "our children"
- No want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter.
- Fundamental Christian training and discipleship.
- A quality education to provide a foundation for the future.
- Continued love and support as they transition into adult living.
