A friend and former crew member now lives here in Cotonou, Benin after marrying a local pastor. She has a children’s home in Abomey. We were invited for the official dedicaton back in February. She shared how it is a children’s home, not an orphanage – the children have Mamas, Papas, brothers and sisters. Some friends organized a Christmas / Farewell party on Saturday and so we celebrated with the kids. They particularly liked the bubbles and taking photos with my camera. I was so encouraged as after a time of singing, some of the children 10-13 years old – stood up and quoted scripture in French and in English.
