    JOY VILLAGE UPDATELast week the Joy Village received four children from the Huruma Crisis Center. While each child has a history ofneglect, they were welcomed with hugs and smiles by their new Joy Village family. As I looked at these smilingfaces I had to ask myself.where are their families?....who are these children?...what has brought them to the Joy Village?Let me share with you a few sound bites from these childrens past that will help us to identify needs, betterunderstand the challenges ahead...and see the greatness of our God.Total orphanMother died of AIDSat 14 months, found abandoned

    Father a street boy

    Mother a street girl and died during deliveryElder brother disabledNo one claimed the childAlcoholic grandmotherAbandoned at the gateI have to pause and thank our Lord for bringing these four children throughsituations I cannot imagine. I am certain the harshness of thesesound bites will quickly be turned into an Oasis of Hope for them.Thank you for all you do to make this miracle possible,
