100 Kids




 When I was a little girl I would say that I wanted to have a hundred kids someday.  That number changed dramatically when I started babysitting.  But I still had a love for kids that didn't go away.  God has a way of giving us even our childhood dreams.  It looks like I might soon have 100 kids!



Our little kids club is growing by leaps and bounds.  It feels a little scary to walk in one day and see 50 kids and just a couple of days later there are around 80!  God has blessed us by bringing these kids to us.  I love seeing their faces as they play and learn in a safe place.  My heart nearly bursts as they give me hugs and brighten my days with their beautiful smiles.

The kids club is up and running at full speed, but we have more work to do before we can be fully operational.  What we really need is more people to step up and sponsor a child or maybe two.  Most of us spend more on our cable bill than it takes to get one of these kids into school and keep them safe.  Many of the kids who come are at high risk for sex trafficking.  The goal of our club is to prevent that.  We desperately need more of you to help us prevent it.

 Money is not the only thing we need.  Your prayers for these kids are even more important.  Many of our kids face circumstances that we can't even imagine.  Their parents have left them, they do not have enough to eat, and they have been taken out of school because they don't have a uniform or supplies.  What will the next day bring for these children?  Please pray for them and offer them a chance to safely grow and learn.
