This past weekend we both had the opportunity to go beyond our normal ministry. Mark spent time at the Boys Transition House because we had a sleepover with some of the girls. Nine girls spent the night at our apartment. We used this time to talk about relationships, STD's and abstinence, and to grow closer with the girls. Several of the girls shared their stories of how the came to be in the orphanage, and how much better it is than their previous home life.

Hanging out with Bekah, our intern
Mark spent the weekend with the boys at BTH, hanging out, watching them work and just spending the quality time with them that they crave.

House construction

Helping a neighbor
We both enjoyed our weekend, which is good because we will be doing this again in over a week. Continue to pray for these kids, to make wise choices, but most of all to make the decision that will change their life forever, to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior!

It's nice that you all share your friendly companionship with the young people. It boosts their self-esteem! Connie E.
