Here is a sneak peak at Jonni’s July newsletter. Read the rest of it here.
They aren’t singing and there isn’t much choreography, but the Miriam Home does have new kids on the block. I am pleased to introduce Adriana (16 years old) and her little sister Deborah (11 years old). Middle children in a family of 11 children, the girls come from a family that has already experienced great difficulties. Adriana and Deborah have siblings with physical handicaps and though our young ladies are healthy both have moderate learning disabilities. Sadly, it wasn’t issues of education or even physical handicaps that brought these young people to the Miriam Home - they came because they have been exposed to long term abuse, having been used by their oldest brother.
Adriana and Deborah have only been with us a short time (about three weeks), they have started school, gotten involved with the Free Lutheran Church in Lar Parana and are starting to settle in. A quick look says they are doing pretty good. A closer look shows a world of hurt that only God can heal…
