All of them have only been at the home for approx. 2 years. Eleana was a rebellious teenager who was heading down a disastrous road spending her time with gang member friends. Her mother turned to GSCH for help in placing her uncontrolable teen at the home. She continues to blossom in her new life with Christ and is now one of the more spiritually motivated mature youth at the home. Yadira, a timid girl whose mother died three years ago was placed in another home temporarily while her younger brothers were adopted out, she was left out, and there have been no known relatives to come forward to claim her. She like many children at the home does not know who her father is. She is a sweet girl who seeks to know Christ more.
Norbin was discovered to be living in one of the large garbage dumps in the nearby capital city Tegucigalpa. He would rummage through the garbage for food and had set up a temporary shelter there. He deals with a form of muscular dystrophe which has limited the use of his right arm and leg. He is a strong willed boy who doesn't let this limitation keep him from enjoying life.
Oscar is here with 6 of his siblings who come from extremely poor and mentally challenged parents. His mother and dad could not provide for his physical needs in which they turned to GSCH for help.
Anyi is here with her older 13 year old sister whose mother left for the U.S. to seek work leaving Anyi in the care with some of her older teenage sisters who of course were not capable of caring for her. She has become a good playmate and friend to our daughter Molly Ruth.
We enjoy caring for these kids and look forward in having a special part in their lives. At the end of this month (May) we will have 5 more children to live with us from the home. We look forward in sharing with you more about the above five and the new children as well. Please pray for them and for us as we seek the Lord for wisdom in helping raise them for His glory.
