At Fresh Wind Children's Center

November 18 was our second full day in Medellín.  We spent much of the day at Fresh Wind Children's Center.

We started the day with a devotional with the staff.

After that, some of the girls did a dance routine, and the boys did an acrobatic circus for us.

Later, we went into the courtyard.  There, the children sang and danced outside.

We have more adventures for today, but so far my roommate and I prayed for most or all of the children at Fresh Wind Children's Center. We've prayed for nearly 100 children! In this photo, the children are singing and dancing to some songs outside.

In a neighborhood like Niquitao where there is rampant prostitution, drug abuse, and violence, this children's center is a refuge.  At-risk mothers and families can take their small children to this day care, and these little ones get fed most of their nutritional requirements.

That afternoon, some of us prayed for the kids.  Admittedly, I must have prayed for around a hundred children.  I even fed a few!  It was such a blessing to minister to all these children, and to see such smiles.
