Today, we said goodbye to Josiane, Mayara, Diana, and Diego. The judge made his final decision for them to return to live with their father after living at CLM for two years. Although we are thrilled to see them return to their own family, our hearts already ache from their absence. Each one chose their closest friend to make the trip to the city with them but the entire family came out to say a long goodbye after lunch. Please pray for their adjustment to living with their father, stepmother, and extended family, as well as for the children here who are grieving another loss.
Our ministry strives to share the love of Jesus with abused, neglected, and abandoned children in southern Brazil.
