Emmanuel is
our newest boy, having arrived on August 4th. He quickly and easily adapted to life at Mama
Jean's. He fit right in with the other boys immediately and they were so welcoming
and accepting of him.
From what we
understand, he hadn't been on the streets for more than a year. He showed no signs of being addicted to glue
but did show a few signs of malnourishment. It's hard to get decent (not rotten
or infested with bugs) food on the streets. We are so thankful that Emmanuel came into
Mama Jean's Home when he did.
Here is what
Emmanuel says about Mama Jean's Home:
"My
name is Emmanuel. I stay at Mama Jean's Home. I am 15 years old. I thank God
because when I came to the home, the staff and kids living here, welcomed me
with a sincere heart. I will cooperate with them in any situation because I
know that the Lord has a purpose for this home.
We have been taught the Word of God which
was hard for street children to get in town unless there is a crusade. I have
known how loving God is towards us.
I thank and welcome you for your honest
support which you have shown towards us.
We are able to eat, drink, and sleep well. Plus we can also go to
school! May the Lord bless you all
abundantly!
To know that
Emmanuel has heard the Word of God at Mama Jean's and KNOWS how loved he is by
God, is what it's all about. The challenges are worth it when we hear
this. Praise the Lord and thank You
Father for allowing us to be a part of it.
