A Need For Hope

Pastora Acosta

February 2, 2020

I never imagined how impacting it would be to see their sweet and precious faces coming out from the bushes...I thought I was prepared I prayed many times for this opportunity to go again to the unreached from my own country, and here we are in front them...but this time is different.... it feels different!
Why is different? Because I never felt before a silent desperate scream just seeing this kids into their eyes asking for help, without saying a single word ...having a very short conversation with them trying to find out their names and age but it was not easy but they finally said their names after several attempts, we never could find out how older they are, they don’t know , day , month or year they were born, they just merely exist.

Pastor Luis Romero who has been working with this tribe for many years, and God has used him, his family and church in a great way to serve this tribes, soonest he shared with us the problem that the tribes have with malnourished children, because this people sometimes only eats 4 days a week, to have enough food for many days as possible. We did have to do much to know for sure what kids are in bad conditions, just see their eyes you can tell how big is the need. When we shared a cookie with them an old lady from the tribe was sitting on the floor almost thank us and told us “this is ALL I’ll be eating today” those words plus the faces of the kids was enough for me to understand we need to do something and we need to do it NOW as James 2:14-17 is remind us that we cannot just turn and pray that God will meet their needs ...if He took us there is to be that channel to bring that hope and help...I praise God for each one of you that support CPH, donate for the container we were able to give them something to show them the love of God and that we care for them.

The need is great, but our God is greater, the way is long but worth it, to see the smiles and their faces after eating the cookie and enjoy the gifts... above all to see the love and care of God for them, Thank you for the love, care and support!

God bless you all!
