Orphanage in Pinamalayan

There is an orphanage that we go to in Mindanao every year, which is very special to us. Where I am staying, on a different island than Mindanao, there is another orphanage about 15 minutes away. I didn't want anyone to get confused on the two =) They have asked me to come and speak with the children once a week, to teach whatever I want, so we are doing discipleship with them! The children have terrible backgrounds, for example one girl was sexually abused by her father, while other children are there because their parents can't afford to support them. All of them are Christians, which is exciting. Last week was my first day with them and we went over the gospel and why is it important to share it. Afterwards, they practiced with each othersharing the gospel. Two of them would come up to the front of the room and pretend they were sharing. Only one of the older girls has ever shared the gospel but the rest of them have never shared before. By the end of the session it was so exciting to see the shy children becoming more confident in sharing the gospel. Many of them are high schoolers, so pray that God would give them boldness in sharing. In the next week or so we will be taking the children outside the orphanage to practice what they have learned and to actually share the gospel with people who have never heard!
