Undivided attention and a lot of fun

They couldn’t wait to get in. Twenty-two children and teenagers living in the orphanage Maria Reina in Guayaquil experienced a day of great fun. The OM Ecuador team took them to a local pool, where they swam and played until the water made them shiver. Some of them had never seen a pool before.

It was the day before Mother’s Day in Ecuador. Normally this day is one of celebration for many children in the country, but is a sad day for those who have no mother. During the activity, the kids enjoyed the love of a volunteer for the entire day.

Besides going to the pool, they watched a movie, sang songs together and listened to one of the volunteers telling a story about what Jesus did for them. Finally, they ate as many sandwiches as they could.

The teenagers enjoyed the undivided attention and talked with OM team members about their dreams for the future. They learned that Jesus has plans for a bright future for them. Please pray that these children and teenagers will grow to know Jesus personally.
