Kids of Kalavai

fr0m Dan...

Tomorrow the team heads down to Kalavai to begin working with the colony of Irla people. We will start the day by worshiping at Pastor Sam's church in Kalavai. Pastor Sam has been leading the effort to help transform this outcast and forgotten community of people. The team members are anxious... the people of Kalavai are waiting.

Earlier this week I had the chance to spend time in the community and captured a couple of photos of young children. The first photo is of a young 2-year old girl eating her lunch. For several hours she played by herself in the dirt or swinging back and forth on the small hamock. She never cried, complained or got in the way - she was simply there.

The second photo is of another young girl that lit up every time you would snap her photo. She loved to engage you and was always looking for companionship. What does the future hold for these girls? Not quite sure but I do know because of Pastor Sam's efforts and our commitment to help Raj and Pastor Sam through Life Mission International their lives will be better.

Pray for the team. Pray for Pastor Sam and his church. Pray for these two little girls. By bringing the Kingdom of God to this small village the lives of these girls will be changed and Kalavai will witness the transformational powers of our living God.
