James, the brother of Jesus, made it simple for us to know how to please God: take care of widows and orphans. At "Lamparitas para mi Ciudad" orphanage in Juarez, Mexico, we are doing exactly that.
Mirta, the leader of this orphanage, has poured out her life to bless children who have experienced trauma, abuse, and loss. And she, herself, has experienced great loss--she is a widow. But Mirta turned to the Lord, and her grief transformed into compassion for orphaned children.
I had the pleasure of visiting Mirta, and seeing the beautiful, safe environment she has created for these children. In addition to bedrooms, dining area, and computer lab, there is a small church where they worship the Lord together. This is where the children learn that the love they see in Mirta is from Jesus.
Outside the Bowl is so proud to provide daily meals for the children of "Lamparitas." Thank you all for your donations that enable Mirta to fulfill her calling to give these children the care they deserve as children of God.
