Sunday, 10 Enero, the Lord put it on Pastor Victor's heart to dedicate all the kids who live at Rehoboth. Fabu idea since all these kids come from horrific backgrounds and wouldn't have been afforded this opportunity for their church family to ask for God's blessing and guidance, both for them and the family. Can you see Betzy in the front of the group, just off center to her left and in front of the man in the dark coat?She's also the darling in the next foto. Little did we know just how important this celebration would be; this same week, her parents came to Rehoboth to take her back home. The same parents who let her wander in the streets when she was 3, and didn't even know that she wasn't home for 9 days!!! The Guatemalan gov't this year has begun an outrageously aggressive program to reunite families, no matter how harmful it could and probably will be for the kids they formerly abused!!! This same gov't who thought it was best for the kids to remove them from the home are now allowing them to return!! Betzy was devastated and there was nothing Victor or Chici could do. The same thing happened to Carlos, in the next foto, who was at Rosa's de Amor, another home for abused and abandoned kids; he was returned to the home that caused his horrific physical abuse, and those were just the wounds that could be seen by the human eye. This human heart could see just how deeply this abuse went into his soul, and he had made such amazing progress in learning to trust adults. PLEASE PRAY NOT ONLY FOR BETZY AND CARLOS, BUT FOR ALL THE KIDS IN ALL THE LOVING HOMES WHO FACE THIS SAME POSSIBILITY AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL STOP THIS DELIBERATE AND DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF RETURNING KIDS, THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY, TO PERILOUS ENVIRONMENTS!
