Highlight: The Daycare


So this is the infamous daycare among many churches in America and Shabbach.  Here we have 45 Quichua and poor Spanish children and 6 Quichua workers.  What here at the daycare deals with is dirty, smelly, sick, the outcome of poverty, and most are unloved children.  The workers here provide 2 meals and a snack, as much love as they can, and a somewhat safe place. The thing is these women don’t get payed a single penny by the parents, they are payed only by donations.  There are so many needs here at the daycare but we simply don’t have the money. 
(What the kitchen looked like before and it was infected with ants and nats.  But now they have new cabnets, Praise the Lord!)



Lucky and thanks to Pastor Glenn and Shabbach Youth Conferences we are getting a new daycare soon!  But still there is a lot of needs still for example the children sleep on a huge mat, they hardly have any toys, and we just got running water and a new shelf for their food. 




What we are trying to do is to show the parents of the children how to keep a “clean house” and at the end of the day we clean all the children (brush their hair, wipe their faces, tie their shoes, etc.)  and hopefully the parents will take notice.  There is also 2 buildings.  The building on the left is for the older children from the ages 3 to 5 and the building on the right is for the younger children from 0 to 2 years.

I hope these pictures will give you a good idea what it is like here at the daycare in Riobamba, Ecuador.

   "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for such them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not recieve the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Mark 10:14-16

 

  
 "Out of the mouth of infants and babes, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger."
Psalms 8:2







                  "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
 
If you have any questions or if you want to come down to Ecuador and work with the daycare and Semila Seminary Ministry just add me on facebook the link is on the left side of the blog.   What you can do is pray for these children and if you want a profile of a children so you can pray for them just let me know as well.
