As a college student, summer time is a break, a 4 month prize for 9 months of hard work, but this summer has been different. My life has speed up with things including summer school, work, babysitting, fundraising, lunch dates etc. While all these things are wonderful, they have kept be busy. So busy in fact that my second trip to Fundaninos has snuck up on me. I have not had time to really sit back and think about this trip, but with our departure date only 4 days away, all the emotions come flooding in. My heart swells when I think about the little smiling faces running up to us as soon as we step of the van. One thing that really hit me the first time I went was the power of redemption. Every child has a rough past, but they also have so much joy. They have so little, yet share everything. As orphans they have been provided a family through the staff at Fundaninos and have been adopted into God’s kingdom. They are His and He is their Father. This is why I return, to share in the love and joy that Jesus has brought these people. To be an ambassador of the Gospel simply by loving on some kids.
