EMBRACE MISSIONS FIELD REPORT - BURGAS

Today was our last day at the Burgas home. It was bittersweet saying good-bye to everyone.

We played with toddlers today. Most kids were sick due to a virus, but we had some time with them. As soon as we entered the room, the kids lit up and came toward us. I am telling you, Bulgaria has the cutest kids ever!! Again, they were well taken care of by the staff. You can see the passion these caretakers have for the kids.

I was drawn to a little boy who is 2-years-old. He just came up and grabbed my hand to sit. We played with blocks. He is so ticklish. We had fun tickling him. I would just pretend to tickle him and he would still laugh. When it was time for us to leave he starting blowing kisses!! As soon as I got up, he started to cry which inevitably made me cry too! Just precious!!!

ORPHAN SUNDAY IS NOVEMBER 3RD

On Orphan Sunday, Christians stand up for the orphan. We are a people called to defend the fatherless--to care for the child who has no family…to visit orphans in their distress.

On November 3rd, 2013, thousands of events will echo across America and around the globe, all sharing a single goal: that God’s great love for the orphan will find echo in our lives as well.

Orphan Sunday is your opportunity to mobilize your church, community and friends to God’s call to care for the orphan. Find a selection of helpful resources HERE.
