The other day while Chuck was at the new property (see progress photos here) a couple kids came over to basically spend time with him and away from the home. A few days earlier we met 2 of the girls walking back from a shop and asked them a few questions – “how are things?” – “not good” – “how’s the new house mum?” – “she only cooks for her own 3 kids so we are cooking for ourselves”. I tried to encourage them to continue helping with the little ones and we were still working to help them…they are not forgotten.
While the kids were at the property they gave Chuck letters they had written and I’d like to share just a few lines from each to give you an idea of what these kids are going through. (these are copied word for word)
Ok, this first one I’m going to give you the entire letter:
Dear Chuck. Hey Chuck? I hope you are fine just as I do. But whether you are fine or not lets leave all glory to the Almighty God. With us here is that we have missed you very much. I personal thank the Almighty for giving me this moment to write this piece of paper.
My main aim for writing to you is to request you to pick me from this place. The reason behind this is that I have been told by Apostle [a self-proclaimed title] to leave this place. Please kindly accept this request.
Kwaheri ya kuonana (Goodbye)
Here’s what a couple of other kids wrote:
“I want to inform you that I am tired to live here in xxxx. I’m steel praying for you, tammy and your family. God bless you dad, mom and your family.”
“…he [the person who is supposed to be taking care of the kids] promiced me that he will take me to a college where I will train mechanic but even their is no signs and we pray that God my lift you such that when xxx will see you with faver of the Lord in you. Dad we pray that you may take us and give us what God will help you to support us because now we as nothing in life without education.”
“I was telling xxx with a letter that I don’t want to live here because he is not giving me the expected care that I am suposed to be given.”
Your prayers for wisdom, discernment and direction would be greatly appreciated and that we hear God’ voice giving us such.
