Hello
up there!
My
name is Kelly Flanigan and I recently started volunteering with the
5000 Club, but you probably don't see me at Christ Church on Sunday
mornings. However, I have the same mission as the other members of
our group and I'm thankful for the opportunity to be here with Christ
Church.
Today
we did a numerous amount of things. It was a little different than
the past two days because today the children were in their regular
routine of a school day. We woke up about 6:15am and joined the
children in their morning devotion. Although I had no idea what they
were saying it was such an interesting moment to watch the way these
children behaved as well as how the teachers were so passionate.
Following devotion, we went to breakfast, painted the outside of the
classrooms, I played soccer as the “assistant PE teacher”, we
made arts and crafts, and finally the ending devotion from one of the
teachers in charge. One thing I left out was the meeting with
Claudia, the director of El Hogar. The reason I left this out was
because this is truly where I saw God today. She told us several
stories of the backgrounds of the students and how she was there in
their times of need. Her love and passion is absolutely unbelievable.
She couldn't be a more perfect role model for these children. One
thing that stuck out to me during that meeting was a saying she said,
“We teach them here how to fly and then they have to learn how to
fly and fly their own flight.”
All
of us had a great time today. As each day progresses we are seeing
the way God works more and more. I want to thank all of you Faith
Partners for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers as well as
supporting us to go on this trip. It truly has been a life-changing
experience and it has only been 3 days!It is amazing how God works. I
hope you all are enjoying our posts and pictures. God bless!

For
Tuesday June 25th: O
heavenly Father, who has filled the world with beauty: Open our
eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing
in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for
the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
