Luis, Aninha, and Natalia welcomed four new children to Turvo this past week! Geovane is 5 years old and is a very active, playful little boy. Immediately after his arrival, a sibling group of three came: Ana Paula (8), Zelia (6), and Natanael (2). Their mother died and their alcoholic father was unable to care for them. They were living in filth and have a skin condition common to dogs "bixo-de-pe" (bugs that get under the skin of the foot)that has caused much discomfort because of itching. During our visit on Saturday, all of them were a little wary of us at first but quickly warmed up and were soon wrestling with Mike, sitting on my lap, or holding our hands. We have had the privilege of watching over the past three years as children who have come to CLM filled with fear and distrust have been transformed through the Holy Spirit's love. Join with us as we pray for these four to experience the awesome power of God's love and restoration in their lives. Check out our flickr page to see more photos of these precious children.
