We've Been Touched!

How can I describe the experience we have had last weekend. We were blessed to be a host family for two girls from the Children of the World Choir. Joyce is from Uganda and Rochel is from the Philippines! What a wonderful time we had with these two girls. We just lived life with them. We learned of their favorite animals and that Joyce loves lions and even had one in her home. We learned that Rochel goes to school in a bike carriage type of transportation. We loved talking about our faith in Christ and I had to repeatedly be reminded that I was talking to two 8 year old girls. Our kids loved playing with them and just living life. They sang at our church on Sunday morning and then again Sunday night for a full concert. They sing of God's Love and hope they have because of the faith they have in Christ. The choir is made of boys and girls from India, Uganda and the Philippines. These children are a part of the sponsorship program of World Help. Some are orphans and some have families and they are sharing about the needs of the children of the world and how you can come along side them and sponsor a child.

We were so touched by these two wonderful girls. My kids can not stop talking about them. The girls were so sad Tuesday when they left and Abby went in an laid down on the bed to try and smell them. We were touched in a big way. We have experienced other cultures without leaving the house, but truly we've been touched by two 8 year old missionaries. Please check out their website and see if they are coming to sing at a church near you! Our choir was the central US choir but there are two other choirs that tour the eastern US and the western US.
