Prayer for Jose Luis

BY FAR, the hardest part of being at GCH is saying good-bye to the kids we come to know and love. When they come to us, they are in "crisis", reacting to the lack of care and love they have received in the past.

They come to us physically ill, emotionally broken, and spiritually empty. By the grace of God, we are able to begin to meet each of those needs on the most basic level... from healing their open sores to giving them a safe, warm bed & a hug good-night. Once again, this was the case with Jose Luis...

Jose Luis came to GCH in the end of last year. He showed signs of extreme physical & emotional neglect & abuse. But God once again reached out His healing touch and began to heal Jose Luis of all his wounds. He became a sweet, gentle, loving child that anyone would cherish... we were the blessed ones who got to have him here.

Recently Jose Luis was reunited with family members that demonstrated the ability to care for him. While this is under the control of the local authorities & is out of our reach, we ultimately know Jose Luis is in God's hands. So please pray with us for Jose Luis and his family. We pray God will continue to protect him and bring his entire family to Him. Please also remember to pray for GCH staff & kids as we feel the loss of each child that leaves our homes.
