Our fall party for our neighbors...

Last night GCH hosted it's second annual fall party and outreach for our neighbors. The "Tias" and "Tios" of GCH worked hard to plan a fun-filled, Christ centered event in our homes.
It was an absolute delight to see our neighbors pour in, with all their kids. We had games, "bobbing for cookies", worship songs, salvation bracelets, New Testaments to hand out, etc. It was WONDERFUL!
In the photo you get a partial look at some of our kids and the neighbor kids singing "Si, Senor" ("Yes, Lord"). They jumped and sang with all their might, as many of our unreached neighbors looked on.
The highlight for me was when a couple approached me to find out more about GCH and the kids here. They asked if I knew anything about this place (I had to laugh inside!... this place is my life). They live on the other side of Tijuana, but were visiting a family member in our neighborhood who said they should come.
After opening up to me about some struggles they have, it was clear they needed eternal HOPE. I was able to share with them a bit of all the amazing things God is doing here. They said the joy and love that exudes from our kids is obvious. They wanted that kind of peace and joy in their lives!
I called George over and then we had the privilege of leading Jose and Irene in a prayer in which they received the Lord as their Savior! It was a beautiful (and tearful) moment watching 2 needy people come to Christ.
I've mentioned before that it never ceases to amaze me all that God is doing through GCH. We once thought it was just about the kids who live here, yet God has made it so much more. The kids were the "lights" that the Lord used to show Jose and Irene His love; And He keeps using them and this place to reach more for His Kingdom.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support of Grace Children's Home... God is obviously using it for His glory! We have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving season.
