Day 5

     Today we went to Sanyu Babies Home in the morning. We are not allowed to take pictures or post them anywhere on any social media.  That is the policy for the protection of the kids.  At Sanyu we bathe the children and then play with them for a little while.  It is a crazy time with so many little ones.  There are about 60 kids at that orphanage.   Then we went to a Foursquare church. The pictures above are from our time there. This church and orphanage is by far in the best condition of all that we have seen. They really liked James 1:27 which talks about talking care of widows and orphans.  They practiced this very well in this church  and other surrounding foursquare churches.  The entire second level of the church was a orphanage.  Twelve of the nineteen kids there came from the same household. There parents relied on witchcraft to keep them safe and provide for them.  They are now safe from this kind of influence on their lives.  In the surrounding area there are 6 other foursquare church/orphanages. This church body is in the process of building eight more churches like this with orphanages on top.  This is a great model for other churches or orphanages in the area.
