Today our team visited an elderly men’s home in Juarez. In Mexico, families traditionally care for their elderly, and they are respected as wise family members who have already contributed greatly to the family. In some cases, however, they are “orphaned”, and have no family able or willing to care for them. The facility we visited today is run by an amazing group of local people who have a burden for the men in this situation.
While this would have been a great visit in and of itself, the Lord provided something that made it extra-special. It wasn’t just our team that went there today – we were also able to pick up and bring the children from the home we visited yesterday. It was wonderful to see the connections the children were able to establish with the elderly men. They were able to immediately engage the men in conversation, and were even able to share the gospel in their own language in several cases. Only God could have provided such an effective way to share His love!
