The group of children that I´ve been working with this year, have been learning a bit about other parts of the world. Many of them never travel, and have no idea about the diversity in our world. We have wanted to teach them about how other children live and also inspire them to pray for other people. This week I shared with them about India, they listened in fascination about how the rich and poor live. I think this is something they can understand, but hopefully also made them thankful for their homes and families (India having more extreme poverty, orphans and homelessness). It was beautiful at the end to hear 2 girls praying heartfelt prayers asking God to put the children in families and enable them to go to school and also for the Churches that are being persecuted. We also tried some Indian food, though many of them didn´t like it, it´s quite different from the rice and beans we eat here every day.
