Let the Little Children Come

November 3, 2014 Off By Donna Wuerch

Our Missions Trip – Day 3, started early as we were taken to four day cares in very impoverished neighborhoods/areas where the needs are the greatest. And the roads are the most washed out, but now where the little children are tenderly loved, fed three meals a day and given special care so that their single moms or parents can hold down jobs that help make their lives better.

How beautiful it was that the Mexican government built these day cares and then held the work that this beautiful group of volunteers from Perdon y Amistad Church does in such high esteem that they would be asked to oversee these day cares.

The buildings for the day cares were provided, but still they must raise the funding for the overhead and care. Such few toys on the shelves, led us to go shopping before returning to the U.S. to give them more.

Getting to love on these kids, play with them, and pray and believe God’s best for them, was truly a highlight of our missions journey. ‘Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
